I'm holdin' this picture
You drew when you were four
It was one we proudly hung
On our refrigerator door

I found it in the attic
In your old dresser drawer
By a pillow that we made you
A blanket that you had
When we learned to chase the monsters
From underneath your bed
And I remember

How I learned hold you when you cried
I Learned how to let you be strong
Learned how to calm you in the dark
Learn how to listen with my heart
I Learned how to watch you grow
But how will I learn to let go

When I walk in your in your bedroom
The memories that I keep
Are bedtime stories
And rockin' you to sleep
And as I held you
You'd drift off to dream
And I know this might sound crazy
Now that you have grown
But yesterday still feels
Like the day we brought you home
And I remember

How I learned how to hold you when you cried
Learned how to let you be strong
Learned how to calm you in the dark
Learned how to listen with my heart
Learned how to watch you grow
But how will I learn
When will I learn
How will I learn
To let go
