Her bags are packed by the door
Daddy's little girl for 18 years
All grown up to face the world alone
A fearless heart full of dreams
But to him, she'll always be his little girl
And he can still remember when
She used to wrap her little hand around his finger
As he holds her in his arms didn't think it'd be this hard
Letting go. When the moment's here, it's hard to say goodbye
Letting go to that little girl, his love for all his life
Watching as she turns away, holding on to yesterday
A moment that he wasn't ready for. It's never easy letting go
Five years on, the month of May
To the day that he's been dreading
Came too soon, there she stands
In a beautiful white dress
She's been dreaming of this day
Waiting for her daddy to give her away
...As the music starts to play
He whispers in her ear, she looks so beautiful
As he walks her down the aisle, kissing her cheek with a smile
Letting go. When the moment's here, it's hard to say goodbye
Letting go to that little girl, his love for all his life
Watching as she turns away, holding on to yesterday
A moment that he wasn't ready for. It's never easy letting go
She was standing there, beside his bed when the news came in that night
As she watched him sleep, the doctor said that he didn't have much time
She stayed strong for every moment, in that chair right by his side
She never let him see him cry, 'till the end she held his hand
Letting go. When the moment's here, it's hard to say goodbye
Letting go to that little girl, his love for all his life
Watching as she turns away, holding on to yesterday
A moment that he wasn't ready for. It's never easy letting go
