All these years
You’ve been by my side
Our hands and lives
Ever entwined
And I didn’t know
How it would be
How seeing you go
To let you float free
That it would be this hard to say
Goodbye
Your face is alight
With dreams of your own
Your story unwritten
Your path unknown
And that fire you carry
So deeply inside
Yearns to breathe free
And cross the divide
So eager to shine, so ready to say
Goodbye
My little shadow
Step into the sun
We both know that
Your time has come
So I’ll hide my tears
With a smile so wide
I’ll let go of your hand
So your dreams may fly
I know you’re ready, but I just can’t say
Goodbye
