She'll take the painting in the hallway
The one she did in junior high
And that old lamp up in the attic
She'll need some light to study by
She's had 18 years
To get ready for this day
She should be past the tears
She cries some anyway
Ohho letting go
Theres nothing in the way now
Ohh letting go
Theres room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole time waiting
It's never easy, ohh letting go
Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too
She's had 18 years
To get ready for this day
She should be past the tears
She cries some anyway
Ohho letting go
Theres nothing in the way now
Ohh letting go
Theres room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole time waiting
It's never easy, ohh letting go
Ohho letting go
Theres nothing in the way now
Ohh letting go
Theres room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole time waiting
It's never easy, ohh letting go....
