Hold on Tighter

It's time to shut her suitcase
Wish I could climb inside
18 years and they have flown by
And now she longs for college life
I hide my tears, cause she has no fears
She just smiles and waves goodbye
So what's a mom, hold onto?
When its time to let her fly

I just hold on tighter, to a hand that's stronger
His strength is always near, to calm my every fear
I just hold on tighter to a Heavenly Father
Who knows my every thought and cheers my

Weary heart to hold on tighter

Tears roll down her face
As she reads papers he has filed
30 years of marriage gone now
And he didn't say good-bye
The kids are grown, now she is all alone
Life shouldn't be like this
So what's a woman hold onto
When there's no one there to kiss
