Lyrics Learning to Let You Go - JJ Heller

Learning to Let You Go

It’s hard to believe you’re taller than me
Don’t know when but it happened somehow
You’re smiling at me when you ask for the keys
And I’m begging you, «Please, could you slow down?»
Growing up is hard to do
I know because I’m growing up with you
You are gonna fly someday
But you will always have a home
You’re learning how to make your own way
And I’m learning to let you go
You were never mine to keep
You were always just on loan
So have a little patience with me
'Cause I’m learning to let you go
When you were small, your problems were solved
With a hug and a kiss and a Band-Aid
But it’s not easy now, and you’ll figure it out
Though I wish I could save you from heartache
Growing up is hard to do
I know because I’m growing up with you
You are gonna fly someday
But you will always have a home
You’re learning how to make your own way
And I’m learning to let you go
You were never mine to keep
You were always just on loan
So have a little patience with me
'Cause I’m learning to let you go
I’ve gotta be honest
This might be the hardest thing I’ve had to do
Feels like the future came too soon
Now I’m slowly letting go
You are gonna fly someday
But you will always have a home
You’re learning how to make your own way
And I’m learning to let you go
You were never mine to keep
You were always just on loan
So have a little patience with me
'Cause I’m learning to let you go
Learning to let you go
I’m learning to let you go
