Lyrics
Daddy, Let Go
Jenny?s knuckles were turning white as her Dad held on to the back of her bike
Pink streamers flyin? from the handle bars, she was givin? it all she?s got
Jenny heard the neighbor kids cheer as she turned the corner smilin? ear to ear
He was still tryin? to hold on as he heard her say
chorus
Daddy, let go , I?ll be okay
Daddy, let go , I know the way
I?ll be good and I?ll be strong
I won?t be gone too long
Just a little ways down the road
Daddy, let go
Jenny loved Michael, he was the one. Got married before college was done.
Moved in with Dad ?til they found a place of their own
Michael took a job up in Birmingham, packed up their car ?til the springs bent
down
Dad hugged his little girl so tight ?til he heard her say
chorus
Dad hasn?t been the same since he heard the news, Doctor said there was nothing
more to do
Jenny fought so hard, but she is slowly slippin? away
Losing her is more than he can stand, for hours he sits and just holds her hand
He knows she?s speaking to his heart when he hears her say
chorus
tag ending
