Moving Day

Today is Moving Day at our house!
Here are some of my thoughts about packing up, saying goodbye and letting go.

If had to move away,

If I had to pack a box today,
There are some things I would have to let go,
Before I headed down the Interstate.

My favorite dress that doesn't fit any more
And all the papers in my old desk drawer,
Bad habits and old grudges,
I'd take them all to the secondhand store.

But there's a list of things I'd have to take with me,
No matter how long this winding road turns out to be.

I'm holding on the Valentines,
and letters I've read a thousand times
That say, we believe in you
And never give up your dreams!

I'm holding on to my own back yard.
I hope I can fit it all in my car
When the whole world's letting go
I'll keep holding on.

You can't keep a harvest moon,
It fades away all to soon.
Even the trees let got of their leaves
Much quicker than you'd ever choose.

So many people say good-bye,
I see those tear drops in their eyes.
And I start to wonder how I'd live without love,
And I glad I'll never have to try.

Hardly anything lasts forever anymore,
but there will always be a few things I'll keep fighting for.

I'm holding on to my Father's love,
and my Mother's faith in God above.
She says we believe in you,
And never give up your dreams

I'm holding on to my true loves hand,
And I know that he will always understand.
When the whole world's letting go,
I'll keep holding on.

Shooting stars and red balloons,
Ice cream cones and breezy Junes.
I love them all, I hold them dear
But they so quickly disappear

These are the things I'll keep with me,
No matter where my life will lead me.
A loving word, a gentle kiss.
I need nothing more than this.

I'm holding on the Valentines,
and letters I've read a thousand times
That say, we believe in you
And never give up your dreams!

I'm holding on to my own back yard.
I hope I can fit it all in my car
When the whole world's letting go
I'll keep holding on.

I'm holding on to my Father's love,
and my Mother's faith in God above.
She says we believe in you,
And never give up your dreams

I'm holding on to my true loves hand,
And I know that he will always understand.
When the whole world's letting go,
I'll keep holding on.
