I'm setting you free But I'm not letting you go I'm watching you fly away But keeping you close I can't help but cry a little Heaven knows I'm setting you free But I'm not letting you go Though Mom says I spoil you Here's a little something for spending, Please come home real often Often and soon Would you think of us as foolish If we do some pretending By leaving the light on Here in your room? Drive slow on the freeways Call first thing when you get there You know me, how I worry I'll be up most the night And if you need anything, baby You know we'll both be here In the meantime we're praying That your future is bright Wheres that princess in a party dress? Now shes a young lady with dreams Fly away butterfly On the wind, taking wings The first time that I held you child You forever changed my soul And I'm holding you now Because I want you to know
