I've played this scene out in my mind
You spread your wings, you need to fly
It breaks my heart to say goodbye
These arms of mine wanna pull you close
But I love you enough to let you go
My mind goes back to memories
Of pony rides upon my knee
First day of school, your brand new bike
And football games on Friday nights
And through the years I've watched you grow
And I love you enough to let you go
Don't look back when you drive away
I don't wanna change your mind
I know in all your eighteen years
You've never seen your daddy cry
So many things I wanna say
You'll meet new friends, you'll be okay
I'll pray for you out on your own
But don't forget your way back home
And though I may not let it show
I love you enough to let you go
Don't look back when you drive away
I don't wanna change your mind
I know in all your eighteen years
You've never seen your daddy cry
These arms of mine wanna pull you close
But I love you enough to let you go
I've rehearsed this day a thousand times I've played this scene out in my mind You spread your wings, you need to fly It breaks my heart to say goodbye These arms of mine wanna pull you close But I love you enough to let you go My mind goes back to memories Of pony rides upon my knee First day of school, your brand new bike And football games on Friday nights And through the years I've watched you grow And I love you enough to let you go Don't look back when you drive away I don't wanna change your mind I know in all your eighteen years You've never seen your daddy cry So many things I wanna say You'll meet new friends, you'll be okay I'll pray for you out on your own But don't forget your way back home And though I may not let it show I love you enough to let you go Don't look back when you drive away I don't wanna change your mind I know in all your eighteen years You've never seen your daddy cry These arms of mine wanna pull you close But I love you enough to let you go Explain Request ×
