I always knew that you'd do great things
I didn't ever want to slow you down
I was there when you learned to use your wings
And I saw you leave the ground
The time I spent in your sweet arms
Was the best time that I've known
And maybe the reason I was here at all was to see you carry on
So don't you know, I still remember
How once I was someone to you
And girl, you were meant for something better
It doesn't matter anymore what you think of me
I'm just proud to be part of your history
I knew the time was coming soon
'Cause you were growing up so fast
And sometimes you can lose so much
When you try to make it last
I always knew you'd do great things
I didn't ever want to slow you down
I was there when you learned to use your wings
And I saw you leave the ground
So don't you know I still remember
How once I was someone to you
And girl you were meant for something better
It doesn't matter anymore what you think of me
I'm just proud to be part of your history
It doesn't matter anymore 'cause you sent me free
I'm just proud to be part of your history
