You can let go now, Daddy.

Wind blowing on my face
 Sidewalk flying beneath my bike
 A five year old’s first taste
 Of what freedom’s really like

He was running right beside me
 His hand holding on the seat
 I took a deep breath and hollered
 As I headed for the street

You can let go now, daddy, you can let go
 Oh, I think, I’m ready to do this on my own
 It’s still a little bit scary but I want you to know
 I’ll be okay now, daddy, you can let go

I was standing at the altar
 Between the two loves of my life
 To one, I’ve been a daughter
 To one, I soon would be a wife

When the preacher asked
 “Who gives this woman?”
 Daddy’s eyes filled up with tears

He kept holding tightly to my arm
 ’Til I whispered in his ear

He kept holding tightly to my arm
 ’Til I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, daddy, you can let go
 Oh, I think, I’m ready to do this on my own
It’s still feels a little bit scary but I 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 night nurse said
 My voice and heart were breaking
 As I crawled up in his bed and said

You can let go now, daddy, you can let go
 Your little girl is ready to do this on my own
 It’s gonna be a little bit scary but I want you to know
 I’ll be okay now, daddy, you can let go, you can let go
