Let Her Go Lyrics

She's got two candles on her birthday cake

Just enough teeth to get a little taste

Frosting on her nose ain't that a perfect pose

There eight more candles up on top

Time moves fast I wish it would stop

Just for a little while so we could walk one more mile

Before long she'll be gone

Out from under my wings and on her own

And it hurts so bad that all these years have gone so fast

She'll come of age she'll turn the page

A new chapter begins while this one fades

And as a mother I know

I have to let her go

There's eighteen candles she just blew out

Hurt me the most now shes moving out

College starts this fall I won't see her much at all

And after graduation comes and goes

She'll call me up late shes coming home

To tell me the news she'll be getting married soon

Before long she'll be gone

And out from under my wings and on her own

And it hurts so bad that all these years have gone so fast

She'll come of age she'll turn the page

A new chapter begins while this one fades

And as a mother I know

I have to let her go

Before long she'll be gone

Out from under my wings and on her own

And it hurts so bad that all these years have gone so fast

She'll come of age she'll turn the page

A new chapter begins while this one fades

And as a mother I know

I have to let her go
