She'll take the painting in the hallway
The one she did in Jr. High
That old lamp up in the attic
She'll need some light to study byShe's had 18 years
To get ready for this day
She should be past the tears
She cries some anywayOh, oh, letting go
There's nothing in her way now
Oh, letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting goMother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read tooShe's had 18 years
To get ready for this day
She should be past the tears
But she cries some anywayOh, oh, letting go
There's nothing in her way now
Oh, letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting goOh, oh, letting go
There's nothing in her way now
Oh, letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting goIt's never easy letting go
