Woke up this mornin' and I knew it was time So many years we've spent between us You've grown so much and it feels like a crime That I don't get to keep you here until the end of time So I left my fear on the wayside And I'm happy for the love you chose to live by Well, you've grown so much, and now it's time to fly And I know I've got to realize you're no longer mine I'm givin' you away But I'm never gonna let you go You found a love that will carry you It brings me tears of joy to see a heart so true And if he treats you right, and I know he will There ain't nothin' in this whole wide world that you can't do So I left my fear on the wayside And I'm happy for the love you chose to live by Well, you've grown so much, and now it's time to fly And I know I've got to realize you're no longer mine And I just wanna tell you, it'll do you right to know I'm givin' you away but I'm never gonna let you go And I just wanna tell you, it will do you right to know I'm giving you away, but I'm never gonna let you go
