Lyrics
You Have To Let Go (c) 2002
Lyric by Pam Hurley 2002 Music my Chris Dasch
It's hard enough for grownups when a loved one has to leave
Even harder for a little girl when she is only three.
I'd been called to duty, would be gone for a year
She held tight, to my chest, and we hugged through the tears
I said Darlin don't worry, It'll be alright
If it was up to me, You'd stay by my side
With a love like ours, There are never goodbyes
I love you, you know, But you have to let go
My wife and I looked forward, to our daughters wedding day
But when that preacher said those words, who gives this bride away
I knew that forever, she'd be our little girl
But I felt, we would lose, a big part of our world
She said Mom & Dad, don't worry, It'll be alright
If it was up to me, You'd stay by my side
With a love like ours, There are never goodbyes
I love you, you know, But you have to let go
My wife is still beside me, but at times she forgets
The name of our daughter, our street and our pets
We know that things are changing, it's hard to ignore
She took my hand, and spoke to me, the words I'd heard before
She said Darlin, Don't worry, It'll be alright
If it was up to me, I'd stay by your side
With a love like ours, There are never goodbyes
I love you, you know, But you have to let go
