about

If you ever dropped your daughter off at the airport as she departs on her travels

This song's for you

lyrics

At the end of that runway © Maurice Byrne 2019

Verse 1
I had to hold back, I thought I would crack
And hold on a little too tight
But Dads have to let go and girls need to know
Before you take flight
Take a moment to hold on to him
Listen and let advice sink in
Tell him you love him – tell that you’ll miss him - and cry

Chorus
Cause at the end of that runway she’s gone
She says she’ll be back but she’s wrong
When those wheels leave the ground
And she’s blue yonder bound
And those engines start to roar
She’ll find out that flying
Is what she’s been trying to do
She’ll spread her wings and soar

Verse 2
At home I put my key into the door
I should hear her heels upon the floor
I know each sound she makes
When there’s none my heart breaks - a bit
No more stories and tales – No Valentines in the mail
No more checks when the wind is blowing a gale
No more chatter and laughter no happy ever afters
And the years come crashing down like waves

Chorus

Bridge
There’ll be miles between you and I
All I taught you will kick in
As you find yourself linking
As the moon spins you’re thinking
Where will you be without him

Final Chorus
Cause at the end of that runway he’s wrong
He Might feel that you’re leaving them all
But when those wheels leave the ground
And you’re blue yonder bound
And those engines start to roar
She’ll find out that flying
Is what she’s been trying to do
So spread your wings and soar

Tag
I had to hold back, I thought I would crack
But I wish I’d held on a little more.
