They can't remember life before Toys were scattered on the floor And their world revolved around a baby's face On hands and knees they watched him crawl And they know in no time at all He'll stand up and take off any day These times will never come again Once you let go of that hand That first step is hard It get's easier once you start Down a new road you go With moments that move you through time The walks of life He can't believe how time has flown And how his little girl has grown Here she is all dressed in white today Standing ready at the aisle It warms his heart to see her smile He fights the tears as he gives her away These times will never come again Once you let go of that hand The smell of roses fills the air There's not a dry eye anywhere Friends and family can't believe she's gone Through all of life's uncertainties And fifty years of memories He wonders how he's gonna carry on These times will never come again Once you let go of that hand
