[Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Letting You Go lyrics]
The nurse helped us buckle the
Seat in the car and they sent us on our way
I drove home so slow
We had no instructions
The first days were hard
But there's things about babies
A woman just knows
Three in the morning I lay my hand over
Your heart just to know you
Were safe in your sleep
When you started walking I
Fight back the urge
To stay right there beside you
Keep you on your feet
Being your daddy comes natural
The roses just know how to grow
It's easy to see that you'll
Get where you're going
The hard part is letting you go
The hard part is letting you go
It didn't take long to see you
Got the best of me
And your mama's merciful heart in your eyes
And helping her raise you has
Taught me to see through
The great fog of loneliness
The devil's disguise
Being your daddy comes natural
The roses just know how to grow
It's easy to see that you'll
Get where you're going
But the hard part is letting you go
The hard part is letting you go
And now you've decided to be someone's wife
And we'll walk down the aisle
And I'll give you away
I wish I could walk with
Him back through your life
To see every last minute of every last day
To hear your first words and
To feel your first heartbreak
To sing you to sleep when
You're scared of the dark
The best I can do is to
Let myself trust that you know
Who'll be strong enough to carry your heart
And being your daddy comes natural
The roses just know how to grow
It's easy to see that you'll
Get where you're going
The hard part is letting you go
The hard part is letting you go
Seat in the car and they sent us on our way
I drove home so slow
We had no instructions
The first days were hard
But there's things about babies
A woman just knows
Three in the morning I lay my hand over
Your heart just to know you
Were safe in your sleep
When you started walking I
Fight back the urge
To stay right there beside you
Keep you on your feet
Being your daddy comes natural
The roses just know how to grow
It's easy to see that you'll
Get where you're going
The hard part is letting you go
The hard part is letting you go
It didn't take long to see you
Got the best of me
And your mama's merciful heart in your eyes
And helping her raise you has
Taught me to see through
The great fog of loneliness
The devil's disguise
Being your daddy comes natural
The roses just know how to grow
It's easy to see that you'll
Get where you're going
But the hard part is letting you go
The hard part is letting you go
And now you've decided to be someone's wife
And we'll walk down the aisle
And I'll give you away
I wish I could walk with
Him back through your life
To see every last minute of every last day
To hear your first words and
To feel your first heartbreak
To sing you to sleep when
You're scared of the dark
The best I can do is to
Let myself trust that you know
Who'll be strong enough to carry your heart
And being your daddy comes natural
The roses just know how to grow
It's easy to see that you'll
Get where you're going
The hard part is letting you go
The hard part is letting you go
