Letting You Go

歌詞

The nurse helped us buckle the seat in the car And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow We had no instructions, the first days were hard But there's things about babies a woman just knows Three in the morning I lay my hand over Your heart just to know you were safe in your sleep When you started walking I fight back the urge To stay right there beside you, keep you on your feet Being your daddy comes natural The roses just know how to grow It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going The hard part is letting you go The hard part is letting you go It didn't take long to see you got the best of me And your mama's merciful heart in your eyes And helping her raise you has taught me to see through The great fog of loneliness, the devil's the sky Being your daddy comes natural The roses just know how to grow It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going But the hard part is letting you go The hard part is letting you go And now you've decided to be someone's wife And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away I wish I could walk with them back through your life To see every last minute of every last day To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark The best I can do is to let myself trust that you know Who'll be strong enough to carry your heart And being your daddy comes natural The roses just know how to grow It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going The hard part is letting you go The hard part is letting you go
