How Do I Let You Go

from All the Way Home by Ben Travis

/

about

My grandmother, Irene Weesner, passed away in October of 2005. I actually wrote this song for her, but I thought it was a nice fit for this album, considering the subject matter. So although this album is dedicated to my father, this song was written a few days after Grandmama died. We miss you, Grandmama.

lyrics

(verse 1)
How do I let you go
How do I let you know
That you have changed my life
Just by loving me the same… every day

How do I close my eyes
How do I say goodbye
To part of who I am
Part of every note I play

(chorus)
And I guess I’ve always known
That this day would come
But it always seemed far away
And even though I can admit
That it’s part of life
Why does it have to be today?

(verse 2)
How do I find a way
To say what I should say
So everyone will see
What you really mean to me?

How can I disguise
When they try to sympathize
And I can’t stand to smile
And pretend that I’m okay
