Lyrics

?Just Letting Go?

She held daddy?s finger to take her first steps
It seemed so easy when she had daddy?s help
But there came a day when her daddy said,
?Baby, it?s time to walk all by yourself.?

She looked up at him with fear in her eyes
Stood there alone ? then she saw daddy smile
?One foot, then the other ? and soon you will know
The hardest part, Baby, is just letting go.?

Sweet tender memories like old photographs
Displayed in his heart like a book from the past
Flowers and music ? a crowd gathered near
Slowly he marches toward his greatest fear

His beautiful baby is a beautiful bride
Her whole life is flashing before daddy?s eyes
She kisses his cheek and the tears start to flow
?The hardest part, Daddy, is just letting go.?

She sits in the room in his old rocking chair
Close by the bedside ? she touches his hair
His heart?s her inheritance ? love handed down
She is his legacy ? the star in his crown

He whispers her name then opens his eyes
Says, ?Baby you know how I hate goodbyes.?
She says, ?Mama?s waiting beyond the rainbow
The hardest part, Daddy, is just letting go.?
