I Love You Enough To Let You Go
Recorded by Alabama
Written by Randy Owens, Gary Baker, Frank J. Myers
G7 C Am
I've rehearsed this day a thousand times
Em F G7
I've played this scene out in my mind
C Am
You spread your wings you need to fly
Em F G7
It breaks my heart to say goodbye
Dm G7
These arms of mine wanna pull you close
Dm G7 C G7
But I love you enough to let you go
C Am
My mind goes back to memories
Em F G7
Of pony rides upon my knee
C Am
First day of school your brand new bike
Em F G7
And football games on Friday nights
Dm G7
And through the years I've watched you grow
Dm G7 C
And I love you enough to let you go
Am Em
Don't look back when you drive away
F C G7
I don't wanna change your mind
Am Em
I know in all your eighteen years
Dm F C
You've never seen your daddy cry
Am
So many things I want to say
Em F G7
You'll meet new friends you'll be okay
C Am
I'll pray for you out on your own
Em F G7
But don't forget your way back home
Dm G7
And though I may not let it show
Dm G7 C
I love you enough to let you go
Repeat #3
Dm G7
These arms of mine wanna pull you close
Dm G7 C
But I love you enough to let you go
