I'VE REHEARSED THIS DAY A THOUSAND TIMES
I'VE PLAYED THIS SCENE OUT IN MY MIND
YOU SPREAD YOUR WINGS, YOU NEED TO FLY
IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SAY GOODBYE
THESE ARMS OF MINE WANNA PULL YOU CLOSE
BUT I LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO LET YOU GO
MY MIND GOES BACK TO MEMORIES
OF PONY RIDES UPON MY KNEE
DON'T LOOK BACK WHEN YOU DRIVE AWAY
I DON'T WANNA CHANGE YOUR MIND
I KNOW IN ALL YOUR EIGHTEEN YEARS
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN YOUR DADDY CRY
SO MANY THINGS I WANNA SAY
THESE ARMS OF MINE WANNA PULL YOU CLOSE
BUT I LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO LET YOU GO
