SHE'LL TAKE THE
PAINTING IN THE HALLWAY
THE ONE SHE
DID IN JUNIOR HIGH
AND THAT OLD LAMP
UP IN THE ATTIC
SHE'LL NEED SOME
LIGHT TO STUDY BY
SHE'S HAD
EIGHTEEN YEARS
TO GET READY
FOR THIS DAY
SHE SHOULD BE
PAST THE TEARS
SHE CRIES
SOME ANYWAY
OH LETTING GO
THERE'S NOTHING
IN HER WAY NOW
LETTING GO THERE'S
ROOM ENOUGH TO FLY
AND EVEN THOUGH
SHE 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
EIGHTEEN YEARS
TO GET READY
FOR THIS DAY
SHE SHOULD BE
PAST THE TEARS
SHE CRIES SOME
ANYWAY
OH LETTING GO
THERE'S NOTHING
IN HER WAY NOW
LETTING GO THERE'S
ROOM ENOUGH TO FLY
AND EVEN THOUGH
SHE SPENT
HER WHOLE
LIFE WAITING
IT'S NEVER EASY
LETTING GO
OH LETTING GO
THERE'S NOTHING
IN HER WAY NOW
LETTING GO THERE'S
ROOM ENOUGH TO FLY
AND EVEN THOUGH
SHE SPENT
HER WHOLE LIFE WAITING
IT'S NEVER EASY
LETTING GO
IT'S NEVER EASY
LETTING GO
