Barrie Ingham - Letting Go (Sir Danvers Carew, Emma)

Emma, don't you understand!
It's you I am concerned for.

Father, don't be!
You should be concerned for him!
He's the one in need!

I am only trying to protect you!
What else would you have your father do?
I think I would die,
If any harm should come to you.

I'm scared, my child,
Because I'm going to lose you.
I find it very hard,
To let you go!

Father,
If you try to,
You could never lose me!

Darling father,
I still love you,
More than you will ever know!
But if we want our love to grow -

I know, in time, I have to let you go.

We mustn't be afraid of letting go...
