about

When you love someone enough, you have to let them go. This is a song about my son going off to college. I cried when I wrote it, sang it, and everytime I hear it.

lyrics

Here is my song for the asking
A toast to the ghost of the person that I used to be
Here are some words everlasting
All I am & All that I see

Goodbye my little pal
Well you’re not so little anymore
Goodbye my closest friend
I’ll walk you to the door
Part of you lives inside me

Here is my song for the taking
Here is my heart for the breaking
Know that I know you will make some mistakes along the way
Here are the ones unforsaking
Waiting here & turning old & gray

(Repeat Chorus)

Here is my world for the living
Here is my love for the giving
These pitiful words can’t begin to express how I feel
So here is my song for the asking
All I am & all that I see

Goodnight my little pal
Well you’re not so little anymore
Goodnight my special friend
I’ll walk you to the door
Part of you will never leave
