Learn To Let Go

Mark Schultz

I'm holdin' this picture

You drew when you were four

It was one we proudly hung

On our refrigerator door

I found it in the attic

In your old dresser drawer

By a pillow that we made you

A blanket that you had

When we learned to chase the monsters

From underneath your bed

And I remember



How I learned hold you when you cried

I Learned how to let you be strong

Learned how to calm you in the dark

Learn how to listen with my heart

I Learned how to watch you grow

But how will I learn to let go



When I walk in your in your bedroom

The memories that I keep

Are bedtime stories

And rockin' you to sleep

And as I held you

You'd drift off to dream

And I know this might sound crazy

Now that you have grown

But yesterday still feels

Like the day we brought you home

And I remember



How I learned how to hold you when you cried

Learned how to let you be strong

Learned how to calm you in the dark

Learned how to listen with my heart

Learned how to watch you grow

But how will I learn

When will I learn

How will I learn

To let go
