From the recording Star of the Show
Sitting in the front row near the garden
White gazebo wedding gown
Flowers floating in the water
Mr and Mrs were announced
She had to breathe and take a moment
Hide his weakness and control
They were putting on a brand new hat
As we married, I didn’t know
They sat back and watched the show
And let me go ohhh
the star of the show
I was taking control ohh
They went from guiding my decisions
To sitting back, they prayed and hoped
Loving me from a distance
As a mother now I know
Parents waving to their students
Dressed in black, matching gowns
The heat it went unnoticed
their smiles beamed to the town
I had to breath and take a moment
Hide my weakness and control
I was putting on a brand new hat
As you move on and you grow
And just watch your show
Letting you go ohhhh
The star of the show
You’re taking control ohhh
Pack your bags, move across the world
You’ll shine your light wherever you go
Even if you don’t have the answers
In your heart you will always know
You’re 18 years and now you’re moving out
I’m holding pictures I need to let go
Like the video of you taking first steps
I’m watching you be the star of the show
Be the star of the show
I’m letting you go
You’re the star of the show
I’m letting you go ohhhh
Be the star of the show
You’re taking control ohh
You’re the star of the show
I’m letting you go ohhhh
Be the star of the show
You’re taking control ohh
You’re the star of the show
I’m letting you go ohhh
18 years and now you’re moving out
I’m holding pictures I need to let go
Be the star of the show
