She'll take the painting in the hallway, The one she did in jr. high And that old lamp up in the attic, She'll need some light to study by. She's had 18 years to get ready for this day She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway Oh oh letting go There's nothing in the way now, ? Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly ?? And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting, It's never easy letting go. Mother sits down at the table So many things she'd like to do Spend more time out in the garden Now she can get those books read too. She's had 18 years to get ready for this day She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway. Chorus Chorus
