The Rest of Your Life - Judy Collins

Every mother has to let he child go

Even though it may tear her apart

I can hear the lullabies I sang you

Now you stand taller than my heart

You know you can bread my heart so easily

You can make my day with just a smile

One word from you can melt the winter snow

Make me forget the longest mile

Whatever you’re doin' for the rest of your life

I’m here to tell you, you can count on me

No use my worryin', I know you can fly

I’ve gotta let you go, gotta set you free

I’ve gotta set you free

The road we walked was never easy

I know I stumbled on the way

I thought I knew what I was doing

When I was wrong you had to pay

I hope by now you can forgive me

And take the good I had to give

I was too young to be your teacher

We learned together how to live

Whatever you’re doin' for the rest of your life

I’m here to tell you, you can count on me

No use my worryin', I know you can fly

I’ve gotta let you go, gotta set you free

I only hope you will be happy

I want the very best for you

The only prize that’s worth the battle

Is finding love you know is true

Whatever you’re doin' for the rest of your life

I’m here to tell you, you can count on me

No use my worryin', I know you can fly

I’ve gotta let you go, gotta set you free
