Part of Letting Go
by Karen Peck

Album: How You Walk The Miles

She's got her suitcase packed up
Had to borrow daddy's pickup
It's loaded down with memories of the past
Momma's crying in the driveway
Daddy holds it in and just waves
Shakes his head and says, "They grow up so fast"
They realize that good things never last

But it's the part of letting go
It's part of the unknown
It's being strong and moving on
But holding onto hope
It's the part of love that knows
That love keeps a loving on
It's not the end
It's the part of letting go

Sitting there in the waiting room
Doctor says she's leavin' soom
Been his best friend for more than fifty years
Tryies his best to say goodbye
Always thought he'd be the first to die
She slips away, he's fighting back the tears
But her memory gives him strength to face his fears

But it's the part of letting go
It's part of the unknown
It's being strong and moving on
But holding onto hope
It's the part of love that knows
That love keeps a loving on
It's not the end
It's the part of letting go

It's life, it's chance
It's the perfect slow dance
It's holding on with both of your hands
It's the great release
It's the fall that gives you wings

It's the part of letting go
It's part of the unknown
It's being strong and moving on
But holding onto hope
It's the part of love that knows
That love keeps a loving on
It's not the end
It's the part of letting go
