I always knew I didn't ever want to slow you down That you'd do great things I was there when you learned To use your wings And I saw you leave the ground And maybe the reason I was here at all The time I spent in your sweet arms Was the best time that I've known Was to see you carry on So don't you know I still remember How once I was someone to you And girl you were meant For something better It doesn't matter anymore What you think of me I'm just proud to be Part of your history 'Cause you were growing up so fast And sometimes you can lose so much I knew the time was coming soon When you try to make it last I always knew you'd do great things I was there when you learned I didn't ever want to slow you down To use your wings And I saw you leave the ground So don't you know I still remember How once I was someone to you And girl you were meant It doesn't matter anymore For something better I'm just proud to be What you think of me Part of your history It doesn't matter anymore 'Cause you sent me free I'm just proud to be Part of your history
