To one, I soon would be a wife
"Who gives this woman?"
I'll be okay now, daddy, you can let go, you can let go

That's what the night nurse said
He was running right beside me

Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
It was killing me to see the strongest man I ever knew
Wasting away to nothing in that hospital room
As I crawled up in his bed and said
Of what freedom's really like
Oh, I think, I'm ready to do this on my own

When the preacher asked

You know he's only hanging on for you
Your little girl is ready to do this on my own

It's still feels a little bit scary but I want you to know

He kept holding tightly to my arm
You can let go now, daddy, you can let go
A five year old's first taste
My voice and heart were breaking
I'll be okay now, daddy, you can let go
It's still a little bit scary but I want you to know
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street
'Til I whispered in his ear
It's gonna be a little bit scary but I want you to know
I was standing at the altar
Oh, I think, I'm ready to do this on my own
I'll be okay now, daddy, you can let go
To one, I've been a daughter
Between the two loves of my life
You can let go now, daddy, you can let go
You can let go now, daddy, you can let go
His hand holding on the seat
