In May, we were talking [Ab] about the father-daughter [C] dance and didn't know [Ab] what we were going to do.
Melissa, I think she [E] was half-joking, she [N] said,
Well, Dad, maybe you could write a song.
[Ab] And I said, I wouldn't count [N] on that.
It just doesn't happen like that.
But, [F] [Ab] as a matter of fact, I had already started on one.
[N] And my brother Tom and his wife Priscilla,
[E] Oh, I'm going to cry.
We'd been going back and [Ab] forth.
[Em] And we came up with something [Ab] that we've been working on over the summer and through the fall.
[G] And [N] this is another special gift for Melissa and Andy.
[Dm]
[Am] [G]
[C]
With tears rolling down on a quivering chin,
[F] She held on so tightly, didn't want to give [C] in.
It was her little blankie.
One day she'll [G] know
That [Dm] sometimes for [F] you to grow, [G] you gotta let [C] go.
She didn't want him to take those training wheels [F] off.
She was afraid she might fall.
[Dm] [C] So he ran alongside,
Until he [G] ran too slow.
Yeah, [Dm] sometimes for you [F] to grow,
[G] You just gotta let [C] go.
[F] Love is the only thing when it's [C] divided
Grows even bigger, there's no [F] denying
Love finds a way, it conquers [Am] all
But sometimes [G] for love [F] to grow,
You gotta [C] let go.
Once her heart was broken in two,
[F] Now she'll marry one so kind and [G] true
[C] Yeah, what's past is past.
On the [G] wind it blows
[Dm] Sometimes for you [F] to grow,
[G] You just gotta let [C] go.
[F]
[Am] [C]
[G]
[Dm]
[F] [G] [C]
[Am] It's their wedding day, [C] [F] she's a beautiful bride
[C] In the back of the church by [G] her daddy's side
[Am] Someone [C] opens the door [F] and gives him the cue
[C] Now he [G] knows what he must do
So [C] with tears rolling down on a quivering chin
[F] He held on so tightly, didn't want to give [C] in
She was his baby girl
And [G] now he'll show
That [Dm] sometimes for you [F] to [C] grow,
You just gotta let go.
[F] And love is the only thing when it's [C] divided
Grows even bigger, there's no [F] denying
Love finds a way, it [G] conquers all
[Am] But sometimes [G] for love [F] to grow,
You gotta [C] let go.
[Am] Yeah, [G] sometimes for love [F] to grow,
You gotta [G] let [C] go.
