letting you go

When you opened up your eyes, for the very first time I knew you were mine Then you took a breath, then there came a step And I knew I'd let you go soon And I don't want you to go So that's why I want you to stay home I want to keep you close, forever in my arms And everything you do I'm always proud of you I love you But I need to let you go soon Now you've grown before my eyes, I see your future so bright, I can't even deny Your passing with straight a's, high school became a haze And I knew I'd let you go soon And I don't want you to go So that's why I want you to stay home I want to keep you close, forever in my arms And everything you do I'm always proud of you I love you But I need to let you go- There are no words that express how my heartaches I see you on tv and I begin to break And you're so far away Don't even know what to say to you Just know that I'm so proud of you I want you to stay home I want to keep you close, forever in my arms And everything you do I'm always proud of you I love you But I need to let you go, but I need to let you go now
