Learn To Let Go

(álbum: Mark Schultz - 2000)

I'm holding this picture You drew when you were four
It was one we proudly hung On our refrigerator door
I found it in the attic In your old dresser drawer
By a pillow that we made you And a blanket that you had
When we learned to chase the monsters From underneath your bed
And I remember

How I learned how to hold you when you cried I learned how to let you be strong
Learned how to calm you in the dark Learned how to listen with my heart
I learned how to watch you grow But how will I learn to let go

And when I walk in your bedroom The memories that I keep
Are bedtime stories And rocking you to sleep
And as I held you You'd drift off to dream And I know
it might sound crazy Now that you are grown
But yesterday still feels Like the day we brought you home
And I remember
