[Verse 1]
A Bm G
Wasn't I brushing the hair from your face
D A Bm
Wasn't I just drying your tears and
G A
Singing you sweet dreams at night
Bm G
Seems like it was just yesterday
A Bm
Suddenly you're seventeen
G Bm
And it's just eighteen months till goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb
I'd rather deny it
D
And God knows I've tried
E
I could keep you here at home
Gm G
But I know
[Chorus]
D
Loving you is holding you
A
And lifting you up
Bm A G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow
D
Even though it's hard to do
A
It's letting you fall
Bm A G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go
[Solo]
D Gbm Gbm Bm D G
[Verse 2]
A Bm G
All of your life I've prepared you to leave
A Bm
Now that little boys all grown up
G D A
And it's too late for changing your mind
Bm G A Bm
Nobody ever warned me that the years go too fast
G Bm
And there's just no pressing rewind
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb
'Cause time is a liar
D
Wish I could set the clock on fire
E
Turn it back to yesterday
Gm D
But it just keeps ticking away
[Chorus]
D
Loving you is holding you
A
And lifting you up
Bm A G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow
D
Even though it's hard to do
A
It's letting you fall
Bm A G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go, oh
[Bridge]
Gbm Bm
No matter how I wanna make you stay
A G
You were also born to fly away
[Chorus]
D
Loving you is holding you
A
And lifting you up
Bm A G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow, oh oh oh
D
Even though it's hard to do
A
It's letting you fall
Bm A G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go
[Outro]
D Gbm Bm A G
Letting you go, oh oh
