The wind in my face
The sidealk flying under my bike
A five-year-old's first taste of what freedom's really like.
He was running right beside me
His hand holding onto my seat
And this is what I told him
As I turned into the street. I said,
You can let go now, Daddy.
You can let go.
I think I'm ready
To do this on my own.
And it's still a little bit scary
But I just want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy...
You can let go.
We were walking to the alter
Standing between the two loves of my life
Butterflies in my stomach because
I'm about to be a wife.
And the preacher says, "Do you give this woman?"
And his eyes filled up with tears.
He kept holding tight onto my arm until I whispered in his ear,
You can let go now, Daddy.
You can let go.
I think I'm finally ready
To do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
But I just want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy...
You can let go.
It was killing me to see the strongest man I ever knew
Wasting away to nothing in that hospital room
"You know, he's only hanging on for you."
That's what the doctor said.
So I knew just what I had to do as I crawled into that bed.
You can let go now, Daddy.
You can let go.
You're little girl is finally ready
To do this on my own
It's gonna be a little bit scary
But I just want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy...
You can let go.
You can let go.
