Lyrics
[Guitar intro]
[Verse]
I can still see you by the window. hair in pigtails. eyes so bright,
Those bedtime stories and whispered wishes underneath the starlit night.
You'd climb up on my shoulders, thought you'd never outgrow,
Now you're packing up your dreams, it's time to let you go.
[Verse 2]
Teaching you to ride a bike, scraped knees and tearful cries,
Swing sets and Sunday picnics, we'd chase the fireflies.
Now the car is loaded, college is calling your name,
And I'm here in the driveway, feeling a Daddy's pain.
[Chorus]
Holding on, letting go, how do I live in this in-between?
The girl who stole my heart, now she's chasing her dreams.
Proud of who you've become, tears in my eyes, I know,
This journey's got two paths, holding on and letting go.
[Bridge]
Graduation cap in hand, took the world like a storm,
From your first steps to those distant lands, I kept you safe and warm.
Pictures line the hallway, echoes of your laughter's flow,
As I sit in this old house, learning to let ya' go.
[Chorus]
Holding on, letting go, how do I live in this in-between?
The girl who stole my heart, now she's chasing her dreams.
Proud of who you've become, tears in my eyes, I know,
This journey's got two paths, holding on and letting go.
[Outro]
Underneath the same sky, though the distance grows,
Our bond's an endless story that only heaven knows.
Through the miles between us, life's adventures swirls,
Never forget, you'll always be, Daddy's little girl.
[Chorus]
Holding on, letting go, how do I live in this in-between?
The girl who stole my heart, now she's chasing her dreams.
Proud of who you've become, tears in my eyes, I know,
This journey's got two paths, holding on and letting go.
