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
