Letting Go (For Mom & Dad)

Autumn Leaves get to me
They always seem to know
How to show their beauty
Just before they go
I know it’s time to leave now
But this is not the end
They always find their way back here again

Seasons come and go
We hardly question why
But the sun seems to know
A little lower in the sky
And as the leaves fell to earth
I was sure I heard one cry
Letting go

Things can happen
Inside a broken heart
When something on the mind
Keeps ripping it apart
On the day you slipped away
You never said a word
Silence was the last thing I heard

Underneath rags of snow
Lie bare and broken trees
And joy of spring and summers possibilities
Until now I can’t believe
How little I thought of things like these
Letting go

Letting go but wishing you could stay
What I’d give
To have it any other way
But a piece of you left the room
In everybody there that day…
Letting go

Reprise 1st verse

Autumn Leaves get to me
They always seem to know
How to show their beauty
Just before they go
