Wind blowing on my face
Sidewalk flying beneath my bike
A five year old's first taste
Of what freedom's really likeHe was running right beside me
His hand holding on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the streetYou 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 goI 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 wifeWhen 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 earYou 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 goIt 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 youThat's what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breaking
As I crawled up in his bed and saidYou 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
