From the recording Songs From The Sidewalk Cafe
Lyrics
Standing here watching you pack up your suitcase
It’s hard to believe that you’re going away
I try not to show any worry in my face
I know you’re ready girl, everything’s going to be ok
Everything’s going to be ok
So I breathe in, and I breathe out
I hold back my tears trying to drown all this doubt
I knew this day would come, as sure as the setting sun
I try not to cry as you turn around and wave goodbye
I remember when you used to run into my arms
Daddy’s little girls, I could do no wrong
Building castles in the sand, flying kites up in the sky
Jumping waves hand in hand, spotting starfish in the tides
I can’t believe how fast time flies
So I breathe in, and I breathe out
I hold back my tears trying to drown all this doubt
I knew this day would come, as sure as the setting sun
I try not to cry as you turn around and wave goodbye
Time to spread your wings and fly into this world
So many treasures to explore
But just remember one thing, my love is in your heart
And will be there for evermore
Proud of what you’ve done, you’ve only just begun
Challenges ahead, you will overcome
No matter where you are, no matter what you do
You know I won’t be far, I’ll be there for you
Chorus…
