You can let go now

晚上，特地去Crystal Shawanda的音樂會，目的就是為了聽她那首最打動人心的一首歌：You can let go now。

歌裏講述了在人生途中，父親對女兒從小到大一路上的擔心；父親老了，即將離開人世，女兒勸慰父親：放心地走吧，女兒已經長大，不再是那五歲的小女孩子，騎著自行車，父親撫著車子；女兒已經有了愛的人，以後的路有了陪伴，不再孤單。

這首歌如泣如訴，打動了很多人的心；每每聽到，總心潮起伏，不能自抑。

我其實也想跟自己的父親說：放心吧，自己已有了伴，也過得挺好，不要再揪心不肯離去，這樣太累了。

我知道這些年來，父親始終在我身邊，並沒有走遠，用各種方式來嗬護我。

You can let go - Crystal Shawanda

Wind blowin' on my face
Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
A five year-old's first taste
Of what freedom's really like

 

He was runnin' right beside me
His hand holdin' on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

 

You can let go now, daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own

 

It's still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be ok now, daddy
You can let go

 

I was standin' at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I've been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife

 

When the preacher asked
"Who gives this woman?"
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin' tightly to my arm
'Till I whispered in his ear

 

You can let go now, daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own

 

It still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be ok now, daddy
You can let go

 

It was killin' me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin' away to nothin'
In that hospital room

 

"You know he's only hangin' on for you"
That's what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breakin'
As I crawled up in his bed
And said

 

You can let go now, daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own

 

It's gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be ok now, daddy
You can let go
You can let go
