Alabama - I Love You Enough To Let You Go

I've rehearsed this day a thousand times


I've played this scene out in my mind


You spread your wings, you need to fly


It breaks my heart to say goodbye


These arms of mine wanna pull you close


But I love you enough to let you go





My mind goes back to memories


Of pony rides upon my knee


First day of school, your brand new bike


And football games on Friday nights


And through the years I've watched you grow


And I love you enough to let you go





Don't look back when you drive away


I don't wanna change your mind


I know in all your eighteen years


You've never seen your daddy cry





So many things I wanna say


You'll meet new friends, you'll be okay


I'll pray for you out on your own


But don't forget your way back home


And though I may not let it show


I love you enough to let you go





Don't look back when you drive away


I don't wanna change your mind


I know in all your eighteen years


You've never seen your daddy cry





These arms of mine wanna pull you close


But I love you enough to let you go
