the rest of your life
Every mother has to let he child go Even though it may tear her apart I can hear the lullabies I sang you Now you stand taller than my heart  You know you can bread my heart so easily You can make my day with just a smile One word from you can melt the winter snow Make me forget the longest mile  Whatever you're doin' for the rest of your life I'm here to tell you, you can count on me No use my worryin', I know you can fly I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free I've gotta set you free  The road we walked was never easy I know I stumbled on the way I thought I knew what I was doing When I was wrong you had to pay  I hope by now you can forgive me And take the good I had to give I was too young to be your teacher We learned together how to live  Whatever you're doin' for the rest of your life I'm here to tell you, you can count on me No use my worryin', I know you can fly I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free  I only hope you will be happy I want the very best for you The only prize that's worth the battle Is finding love you know is true  Whatever you're doin' for the rest of your life I'm here to tell you, you can count on me No use my worryin', I know you can fly I've gotta let you go, gotta set you free
