Lyrics

When You?re Letting Go

Verse: I made it through the Barbie and the ballet years
her first pink bike with the side view mirrors
a little girl in ponytails with scrapes on her knees
who fought with the boys and like to climb trees

Verse: then came tye died t-shirts and bell bottom jeans
walls filled with posters and those difficult teens
through all the deep bruises, each time her heart would break
the late night dates that always kept me awake

Chorus: but she?s grown up now
no more ribbons and bows
once a small flower
Has grown to be a rose
She?s packing up her things
moving out on her own
it?s so hard to be a daddy
when you?re Letting Go

Verse: I remember the mood swings, and hairs out of place
hours in the bathroom, painting her face
Her first time driving my beat up old truck
all the times she?d come to me just for a hug

Chorus: but she?s grown up now
no more ribbons and bows
once a small flower
Has grown to be a rose
She?s packing up her things
moving out on her own
it?s so hard to be a daddy
when you?re Letting Go

Brridge: It was hard for us both to say goodbye
I gave her a hug tried hard not to cry
the last thing she said as she walked towards the door
a hug when you need it, that?s what daddy?s are for

Chorus: but she?s grown up now
no more ribbons and bows
once a small flower
Has grown to be a rose
She?s packing up her things
moving out on her own
it?s so hard to be a daddy
when your Letting Go

It?s so hard to be a daddy
when your Letting Go (pause?.)

Girl, I?ll always be your daddy
I?m never Letting Go
