I've rehearsed this day a thousand times 我已经排练这一天一千次

I've played this scene out in my mind 我打这个场景在我的脑海

You spread your wings, you need to fly 你展开你的翅膀，你需要飞

It breaks my heart to say goodbye 它打破了我的心脏说再见

These arms of mine wanna pull you close 雷想这些武器拉你关闭

But I love you enough to let you go 但我不够爱你，让你去

My mind goes back to memories 我的心又回到回忆

Of pony rides upon my knee 在我的膝盖骑小马的

First day of school, your brand new bike 开学第一天，你的品牌新自行车

And football games on Friday nights 上周五晚上和足球比赛

And through the years I've watched you grow 并通过多年我看过你成长

And I love you enough to let you go 我不够爱你，让你去

Don't look back when you drive away 不要回头看，当你赶走

I don't wanna change your mind 我不想改变你的想法

I know in all your eighteen years 我知道，在你所有的18年

You've never seen your daddy cry 你从来没见过你爸爸哭

So many things I wanna say 所以，很多事情我想说

You'll meet new friends, you'll be okay 你将认识新的朋友，你会好起来的

I'll pray for you out on your own 我会为你祈祷了你自己

But don't forget your way back home 但不要忘了回家的路

And though I may not let it show 虽然我可能不让它显示

I love you enough to let you go 我爱你，足以让你走

Don't look back when you drive away 不要回头看，当你赶走

I don't wanna change your mind 我不想改变你的想法

I know in all your eighteen years 我知道，在你所有的18年

You've never seen your daddy cry 你从来没见过你爸爸哭

These arms of mine wanna pull you close 雷想这些武器拉你关闭

But I love you enough to let you go... 但我不够爱你，让你去...
