♫ Verse 1:
         A            Bm             G
Wasn't I brushing the hair from your face
D               A           Bm
  Wasn't I just drying your tears and
G                           A
Singing you sweet dreams at night
                  Bm         G
Seems like it was just yesterday
         A           Bm
Suddenly you're seventeen
         G                             Bm
And it's just eighteen months till goodbye

♫ Pre-Chorus:
             Gb
I'd rather deny it
                   D
And God knows I've tried
                         E
I could keep you here at home
      Gm   G
But I know

♫ Chorus:
D
  Loving you is holding you
A
  And lifting you up
                 Bm             A            G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow
D
  Even though it's hard to do
A
  It's letting you fall
               Bm           A           G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
                                         D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go

♫ Verse 2:
            A            Bm           G
All of your life I've prepared you to leave
                A              Bm
Now that little boys all grown up
         G            D             A
And it's too late for changing your mind
       Bm          G           A            Bm
Nobody ever warned me that the years go too fast
            G                  Bm
And there's just no pressing rewind

♫ Pre-Chorus:
                 Gb
'Cause time is a liar
                              D
Wish I could set the clock on fire
                      E
Turn it back to yesterday
    Gm                     D
But it just keeps ticking away

♫ Chorus:
D
  Loving you is holding you
A
  And lifting you up
                 Bm             A            G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow
D
  Even though it's hard to do
A
  It's letting you fall
               Bm           A           G
And giving you wings so you fly on your own
                                         D
'Cause part of loving you is letting you go, oh

    You were also born to fly away

D
  Loving you is holding you
A
  And lifting you up
                 Bm             A            G
And planting the seeds and then watching you grow, oh oh oh
