Ever Let Go

As young boy I heard your prayer
You never asked for more
You said your best gift may
Be to watch me grow

Often my temper crossed your way
But patience you always showed
When my heart was betrayed
You were the place to go

All those years we spent
So much was left unsaid
And oh, often I
Struggled to understand
But as you held me close
I knew that it must be true
When you whispered not once would you ever let go

As I began my race
That's when you let me go
For each success I taste
Is from the love you sowed

As the black gives way to grey
The pace gets slow
I'll be your resting place
Won't let your hands go

With more years we've spent
Still so much left unsaid
But now, know that I
Have come to understand
So as I hold you close
Please know that this much is true
When I whisper not once would I

Won't let go
Won't let go
The memories you gave to me
Won't let go
Won't let go
You've always been there for me
Won't let go
Won't let go
It's my turn, so believe in me
When I say that not once would I ever let go
