I love you with all my heart
I wish we wasn't so far apart
There is only one thing I can give
Freedom and your own life to live
Making your own mistakes, you go down lifes road
You have to see for yourself you can't be told
I tried to shelter you from hurt before
That only pushed you out the door
I'll try to pack some advice on a shelf
I can't ask less of you then I demand myself
While your out searching for who you are
I'll be quietly watching,not going far
I can't spare you,from living a life I've led
My little girl,I'll be there to pick you up instead
At times it's hard to hide my fears
And not to release these unshed tears
Sometimes it is hard, my heart isn't stone
You are my daughter to love,and not to own
We'll share hard times and fun and laughter
We'll get threw these years and a good many after
