Lyrics
[Verse 1]
To my children, I want you to hear,
As I journey along, nearing the final frontier.
What you knew, well, I'm not that same face,
Life's been a river, now my steps find their pace.
Through the years, I've tumbled, took the highs with the lows,
Stumbled through the shadows, where the old wisdom flows.
I walk and I talk like a gentle old breeze,
My thoughts are jumbled, like leaves from the trees.
[Chorus]
So when the time comes, please let me go,
Rejoice in the memories, let my spirit flow.
The love that we shared, it won't fade away,
As I slip through the night, let my dreams lead the way.
[Verse 2]
I've held you close as the years turned anew,
Imparting my stories, my heart, and my truth.
But as seasons keep changing, my petals have worn,
The man you once knew now feels ragged and torn.
I cherish our laughter, those moments so bright,
But I sense the dusk drawing near to my light.
I hope for your comfort in the days that are past,
Letting go of the shadows, let our love hold steadfast.
[Chorus]
So when the time comes, please let me go,
Rejoice in the memories, let my spirit flow.
The love that we shared, it won't fade away,
As I slip through the night, let my dreams lead the way.
[Bridge]
Can you hear the echoes of lullabies sweet?
The whispers of love that still make me complete.
It's the melody of life, that plays in my heart,
As I lay down my burdens, let this be my part.
I'm proud of who you are, the paths that you've chosen,
Remember me smiling, in dreams still unbroken.
[Verse 3]
With each passing moment, I embrace what's to come,
A journey to the skies where the eternal hum.
I'll be watching you closely, through smiles and through tears,
In the moments you cherish, I'll be near through the years.
So hold on to love, let it dance in your soul,
In the fabric of life, let your memories be whole.
[Chorus]
So when the time comes, please let me go,
Rejoice in the memories, let my spirit flow.
The love that we shared, it won't fade away,
As I slip through the night, let my dreams lead the way.
[Outro]
Let the winds carry tender farewell to the stars,
Live boldly, my children, and reach for what's ours.
For I'm part of the world, in every sunrise glow,
To my children, I whisper, 'Please let me go.'
