Lyrics
It's the morning of the day
A day we always planned for
When she'd box up her things
And load up our old car
And while we swell with pride at her higher aspirations
We know that we'll miss her
As we kiss her goodbye
I remember the day I met you
And when you first saw me
And every day since
And the hours and the minutes in between
And I wouldn't change a thing
Spreading her wings for flying
But know I'm gonna miss her
As I kiss her goodbye
And we sit and we talk
As she's taping a box
Preparing for leaving
But I wear my brave face
But I can't fool her of course
She says daddy don't worry I'll be ok
It's the evening of the day
And she's long been on her way
And we laugh at the sweet things and the great things
Including today
And the phone rings and she's there
Just calling to say
Daddy I love you don't worry
I'll be ok
And I know that she will be but I like hearing it anyway
