Letting You Go Lyrics - Sara Evans

Wasn't I brushing the hair from your face? 

Wasn't I just drying your tears and singing you sweet dreams at night? 

Seems like it was just yesterday 

Suddenly you're 17 and it's just 18 months 'til goodbye 

I'd rather deny it 

God knows I'd try if I could keep you here at home, but I know 

Loving you is holding you 

And lifting you up 

And planting the seeds and then watching you grow 

Even though it's hard to do 

It's letting you fall 

And giving you wings so you fly on your own 

'Cause part of loving you is letting you go

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

All of your life I've prepared you to leave 

Now that little boy's all grown up and it's too late for changing my mind 

But nobody ever warned me 

That the years go too fast and there's just no pressing rewind 

'Cause time is a liar 

Wish I could set the clock on fire, turn it back to yesterday 

Oh, but it just keeps ticking away 

Loving you is holding you 

And lifting you up 

And planting the seeds and then watching you grow, oh oh 

Even though it's hard to do 

It's letting you fall 

And giving you wings so you fly on your own 

Part of loving you is letting you go 

No matter how I wanna make you stay 

You were also born to fly away

Loving you is holding you 

And lifting you up 

And planting the seeds and then watching you grow, oh oh oh oh 

Even though it's hard to do 

It's letting you fall 

And giving you wings so you fly on your own 

Part of loving you is letting you go 

Letting you go, oh oh
