A fathers lament about his daughter growing up.
Story behind the song
My daughter got married young and is now making her way in life. I wanted to let her know that I'm still here for her.
Lyrics
Even When You Go
Patrick Thompson, January 12, 2007
Ive loved you from the moment you were born
I kept you safe and warm
I taught you what you needed to know
then I tried to let you grow
I remember oh so clearly
When you were still in school
Chorus
I wanna go back
To a simpler place and time
When your love was mine
And I want you to know
I will always love you
Always love you,
Even when you go
Youre grown up now and trying to be free
But freedom has its cost, often times its lost to
Choices that we make
But if you find youre in a bind
Its okay, we all make mistakes
You tried to grow up oh so quickly
You might have missed a thing or two
I wanna go back
To a simpler place and time
When your love was mine
And I want you to know
I will always love you
Always love you,
Even when you go
I will be here after all
To help you rise if you should fall
You know you can count on me
Even when its hard for you to see (that)
Home is where you have your heart
Its where you find your family
Its a place for a new start
Just remember when youre down
The door is always open
And my love is all around (and)
Now Im looking to the future
and I hope youre looking too
I wanna go back
To a simpler place and time
When your love was all mine
And I want you to know
I will always love you
Always love you,
Even when you go
