Father Let Me Go

Father, father, won't you let me go?

I will never say goodbye

I will never ever let you go

He will never be your guy

I will never let him take your love

You will never be his wife

He's the only one I'm thinking of

Let me go and live my life

Ever since she was a little girl

He was so protective of his daughter all the time

And she was never really close to anyone

'Til the boy who came for water made her shy

She would sneak out of the palace late at night

So her father didn't see the love they shared

But in the garden, they were caught and hauled inside

And she was crying as her father's ban was declared

I will never ever let you go

He will never be your guy (but why?)

Father, father, won't you let me go?

I will never say goodbye

I will never let him take your love

You will never be his wife (but why?)

He's the only one I'm thinking of

Let me go and live my life

He was locked up, she was forced to say goodbye

And her father, he was watching over her

But she would dream of a forbidden carpet ride

And on the day when he came and begged for water

I will never ever let you go

He will never be your guy (but why?)

Father, father, won't you let me go?

I will never say goodbye

I will never let him take your love

You will never be his wife (but why?)

He's the only one I'm thinking of

Let me go and live my life

In the night, she set him free

They ran away from captivity

She could never live this way

'Cause she will always hear him say

I will never ever let you go

He will never be your guy (but why?)

Father, father, won't you let me go?

I will never say goodbye

I will never let him take your love

You will never be his wife (but why?)

He's the only one I'm thinking of

Let me go and live my life

She could never live this way

'Cause she will always hear him say

I will never ever let you go

He will never be your guy (but why?)

Father, father, won't you let me go?

I will never say goodbye

I will never let him take your love

You will never be his wife (but why?)

He's the only one I'm thinking of

Let me go and live my life
