Wrote this song for my daughter - thinking about how we are right now and what happens as she grows up.

When will you leave from my embrace?
Could I let you go to take part of me?
But who would I be to keep you near?
They always say to set them free.

The smiles from your eyes, they changed my world.
Can't think to let that slip away...
Give me the time,
Give me the time.
To have you here, not a memory.

I'd grasp at his heals as time plods on.
And hold on to now with you as you are.
But who would I be to keep you here
by holding the love, you'll want to share?

Your laugh in my life, it lifts me up!
Can't think to let that fade away...
Give me the time,
I need the time
to hold you near, safe with me.

I can't imagine,
A time when I'd let go...
It seems to be you're always running to me
to be in my arms!
Oh how could I ever say goodbye?

Give me the time,
I need the time...
