YOU STILL HOLD THE LIGHT
 
 You packed up your bag and walked out the door
 Your last day at school a girl no more
 Time for goodbyes seems like the years flew so fast
 You dreaming days gone all in the past
 The friends that you made one by one they will fade
 As your life stretches out memories to save
 The secrets you shared and the plans that you made
 Mapped out before you you’re a woman you’ve changed
 
 You’re the tear in my eye as you walk out that gate
 You’re the hopes that I had for your future I’ve prayed
 The long road ahead and a world that won’t wait
 Can’t tell you it’s easy I can’t change your fate
 I wonder how many times you’ll feel heart break
 And I wonder what chances for you await
 It hurts for you now that feeling will fade
 It just becomes different that’s life things change
 
 Just hold me close – just hold me tight
 Still for a moment just you and me in the quiet
 Let me look in your eyes – let me look for the child
 Let me look for the fire – you still hold the light 
 
 Rows that we had words we shouldn’t have said
 They pale in this moment they’re gone from my head
 You glide with the style of a woman now breed
 Making her way with her future ahead
 And the lump in my throat is the pride that I feel
 And the beauty I see is enough for me
 To know that you’re safe on the journey you take
 To know that you’re mine no don’t close the gate

Just hold me close – just hold me tight
 Still for a moment just you and me in the quiet
 Let me look in your eyes – let me look for the child
 Let me look for the fire – you still hold the light 
 
 
 You packed up your bag and walked out the door
 Your last day at school a girl no more
 Time for goodbyes seems like the years flew so fast
 You dreaming days gone all in the past
