I always knew
That you'd do great things
I didn't ever want to slow you down
I was there when you learned
To use your wings
And I saw you leave the groundThe time I spent in your sweet arms
Was the best time that I've known
And maybe the reason I was here at all
Was to see you carry onSo don't you know I still remember
How once I was someone to you
And girl you were meant
For something better
It doesn't matter anymore
What you think of me
I'm just proud to be
Part of your historyI knew the time was coming soon
'Cause you were growing up so fast
And sometimes you can lose so much
When you try to make it lastI always knew you'd do great things
I didn't ever want to slow you down
I was there when you learned
To use your wings
And I saw you leave the groundSo don't you know I still remember
How once I was someone to you
And girl you were meant
For something better
It doesn't matter anymore
What you think of me
I'm just proud to be
Part of your history
It doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you sent me free
I'm just proud to be
Part of your history
