Letting You Go

(앨범: Words - 2017)

Wasn't I brushing the hair from your face
Wasn't I just drying your tears and singing you sweet dreams at night
Seems like it was just yesterday
Suddenly you're seventeen and it's just 18 months 'til goodbye
I'd rather deny it
God knows I'd try if I could keep you here at home, but I know

Loving you is holding you
Lifting you up
Planting the seeds and then watching you grow
Even though it's hard to do
It's letting you fall
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go

All of your life I've prepared you to leave
Now that little boy's all grown up and it's too late for changing my mind
But nobody ever warned me
That the years go too fast and there's just no pressing rewind

'Cause time is a liar, wish I could set the clock on fire
Turn it back to yesterday
Oh but it just keeps ticking away

Loving you is holding you
Lifting you up
Planting the seeds and then watching you grow
Even though it's hard to do
It's letting you fall
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
Part of loving you is letting you go

No matter how I wanna make you stay
You were also born to fly away

Loving you is holding you
Lifting you up
Planting the seeds and then watching you grow
Even though it's hard to do
It's letting you fall
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
Part of loving you is letting you go
Letting you go
