Midnight Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The first time I heard this song is when my dad was in the hospital taking his last breath and I cried so much.The last thing I said to my dad was, you have been a great dad, I love you and thank you - and then I said you can let go...Crystal Shawanda You Can Let Go Lyrics Wind blowin' on my face Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike A five year-old's first taste Of what freedom's really like He was runnin' right beside me His hand holdin' on the seat I took a deep breath and hollered As I headed for the street Chorus You can let go now, Daddy You can let go Oh, I think I'm ready To do this on my own (It's still) (It still feels) a little bit scary But I want you to know I'll be okay now, Daddy You can let go I was standin' at the altar Between the two loves of my life To one I've been a daughter To one I soon would be a wife When the preacher asked, 'Who gives this woman?' Daddy's eyes filled up with tears He kept holdin' tightly to my arm 'Til I whispered in his ear (Repeat Chorus) It was killin' me to see The strongest man I ever knew Wastin' away to nothin' In that hospital room 'You know he's only hangin' on for you' That's what the night nurse said My voice and heart were breakin' As I crawled up in his bed, and said You can let go now, Daddy You can let go Your little girl is ready To do this on my own It's gonna be a little bit scary But I want you to know I'll be okay now, Daddy You can let go You can let go The song that I played at the service wasThank YouBy Johnny ReidIf I only had, two words left to say to you.With my last breath I'd come face the truth to you.You've never left my side, even when I fell behind.Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.Thank-you for sharing all your love and all your dreams.Thank-you for every tear of happiness I've cried.Thank-you for laying down beside me here tonight.When I close my eyes, I say a prayer for one more day with you.And when I wake, I embrace the one who pulls me though.Who pulls me through the storm when I can't go on.Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me. Thank-you for sharin' all your love and your dreams.Thank-you, for every tear of happiness I've cried.Thank-you for layin' down beside me here tonight.You've never let me down.Its like you don't know how.Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.Thank-you, for sahrin all your love and all your dreams.Thank-you. Thank-you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Dear Ones,This beautiful song was written by Kathy Cochran, who believes the lyrics were given to her spiritually as a way "to reassure all of you that your loved one is happy and safe on the other side, and for you to know that you will be together again." You can read the story behind the song at Kathy's Web site, www.SpiritLyric.com, where you can also listen to it performed by vocalist Tiffany Coburn: Until We're Together Again. Until We're Together Again© Katherine J. Cochran (BMI)Vocal by Tiffany CoburnSome believeA star shining brightly in the heavensRepresents the love of someone they can't seeOthers feelThe butterfly dancing in their gardenIs a symbol of a spirit flying freeBut when a gentle breeze caresses your hairOr you see an eagle soar in the airShould you smile and remember me in prayerOh, I will be there (chorus)There's no need to say good-byeOne day we'll be togetherRemember me and smileI'm in your heart foreverI'll feel the love you sendUntil we're together againClose your eyes You'll find me sailing in the sunsetRiding waves of bluest oceans ever seenHolding handsOf all the others here before meMy head upheld to hear the angels singI can do all the things I've always dreamed ofI'll be watching over you from aboveDon't worry about me becauseI brought along all your love (chorus)There's no need to say good-byeOne day we'll be togetherRemember me and smileI'm in your heart foreverI'll feel the love you sendUntil we're together againIt doesn't matter where you areMy love will shine upon you from that starLike the butterfly, now I'm freeAscending through the sky peacefully (final chorus)There's no need to say good-byeOne day we'll be togetherRemember me and smileI'm in your heart foreverI'll feel the love you sendAll the love you sendAnd you hold on to the love I sendUntil we're together againWe'll be together again(Make sure that you also pay a visit to the Web page that includes many other beautiful songs recommended by our Discussion Groups members: Grief Songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
