Hard for Me to Let Go

It seemed so strange
One single moment
And then everything changed
You came into view
And I was lost
There was nothing I could do
And on that day a brand new miracle
Standing on the doorstep to my soul
You grew so fast
Every precious moment
Only the memory will last
From childhood days
To adolescent fears
An emotional maze
And every day a brand new miracle
Standing on the doorstep to my soul
Yet at the same time, a passing oh so sad
It’s so hard for me to let go
Now the child is gone
And in your place
A woman stands so strong
Familiar sites
Seen through new eyes
Bathed in a brand new light
And every day a brand new miracle
Standing on the doorstep to my soul
Yet at the same time, a passing oh so sad
It’s so hard for me to let go
So here I stay
Afraid to close my eyes
Afraid to look away
Just when a new person appears
One disappears
And it’s hard for me — hard to let go
And every day a brand new miracle
Standing on the doorstep to my soul
Yet at the same time, a passing oh so sad
It’s so hard for me to let go
