This song was written by me when our first daughter, Lauren got married. The cries at the beginning are her FIRST cries in the delivery room! There wasn't a dry eye in the place!!
Lyrics
Letting Go
Words and Music
Charlie Tipton
Before the moment that you took your first breath
We held you in our hearts
Cradled gently in our loving care
You’ve been treasured since the start
But now it’s time to say goodbye
Let you spread your wings and take the sky
But always remember you remain in our heart
Letting go isn’t easy
Can anything be harder to do
Letting go isn’t easy
When we’re so in love with you
But we’re convinced God has a plan
And His love and grace will help you stand
As you leave to take your husband’s hand
We let go that God might have His will in you
Oh, the memories that flood our minds
It seems like yesterday
That we stood and watched our little girl
As she laughed and sang and played
The years have passed so quickly
How our little girl has grown
She’s a beautiful young woman
With hopes and dreams of her own.
