• Wind blowin' on my face
    Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
    A five year-old's first taste
    Of what freedom's really like
    He was runnin' right beside me
    His hand holdin' on the seat
    I took a deep breath and hollered
    As I headed for the street

    Chorus
    You can let go now, Daddy
    You can let go
    Oh, I think I'm ready
    To do this on my own
    (It's still) (It still feels) a little bit scary
    But I want you to know
    I'll be okay now, Daddy
    You can let go

    I was standin' at the altar
    Between the two loves of my life
    To one I've been a daughter
    To one I soon would be a wife
    When the preacher asked,
    'Who gives this woman?'
    Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
    He kept holdin' tightly to my arm
    'Til I whispered in his ear

    (Repeat Chorus)

    It was killin' me to see
    The strongest man I ever knew
    Wastin' away to nothin'
    In that hospital room
    'You know he's only hangin' on for you'
    That's what the night nurse said
    My voice and heart were breakin'
    As I crawled up in his bed, and said

    You 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
