🎙️[Intro – Both]
(M) We were just kids tryin’ to raise kids,
(F) Barely gettin’ by, doin’ the best we did.
(M) The bills stacked high, the money ran low,
(F) But our hearts were full — we just couldn’t let go.
⸻
🎙️[Verse 1 – Female]
I remember holdin’ you that first night,
Countin’ your fingers under soft porch light.
Wishin’ the world was kinder then,
So I could keep you in my arms again.
⸻
🎙️[Verse 2 – Male]
I tried to be strong when I signed my name,
Felt my soul shatter just the same.
Told myself, “Son, this ain’t goodbye,”
Just a promise made under tear-stained skies.
⸻
🎙️[Chorus – Both]
(M) Love let you go, but it never let go of you,
(F) Every heartbeat still beats for two.
(M) We gave you wings ‘cause the nest was small,
(F) Prayed one day you’d hear our call.
(Both) We did what we could with the strength we had,
It broke our hearts but it made you glad.
Love let you go…
But it never let go of you.
⸻
🎙️[Verse 3 – Female]
Years rolled on, I see your face,
In every child that I embrace.
I still talk to you in my prayers each night,
Hoping you’re happy, warm, and bright.
⸻
🎙️[Verse 4 – Male]
Built a home with these working hands,
Took some time to understand.
Sometimes love don’t hold too tight,
It lets you live your best-made life.
⸻
🎙️[Chorus – Both]
(M) Love let you go, but it never let go of you,
(F) Every heartbeat still beats for two.
(M) We gave you hope when we said goodbye,
(F) Watched you soar beneath God’s sky.
(Both) We did what we could with the strength we had,
It broke our hearts but it made you glad.
Love let you go…
But it never let go of you.
⸻
🎙️[Bridge – Both, trading lines]
(F) Maybe someday, when you’re grown,
(M) You’ll come back and call this home.
(F) We’ll tell you stories, laugh through tears,
(M) Of how we loved you all these years.
⸻
🎙️[Final Chorus – Both, strong and emotional]
(M) Love let you go, but it never let go of you,
(F) That’s what true love’s born to do.
(Both) We gave you wings, we gave you grace,
Now we pray the Lord will show your face.
You’ll always be our heart’s first song,
Even though you had to move on.
Love let you go…
But it never let go of you.
⸻
🎙️[Outro – Both, softly]
(F) We let you go so you could grow strong,
(M) But you’ve been ours all along.
(Both) Love let you go…
But it never let go of you.
