Author's note: This song is kinda how I think lily and harry's relationship would have been, I wasn't lucky enough to have a dad like that so I don't know what its like I tried to get this right by kind of basing it on how I would want a dad to be and on harry, how being the kind of guy I see him as in my head, how I think he would be with lily, all his kids but especially lily.
Disclaimer : I don't own harry potter, his world or the song you can let go now, big shocker there … yeah well guess what I don't care cos I do own erm … chocolate cake :P

song lyrics
lily's thoughts during the song
You can let go now Daddy.
Wind blowing on my face
ground flying beneath my broom
A five year olds first taste
of what freedom's really like
You taught me how to fly that day daddy, do you remember, do you remember how you cried with pride when I could fly all on my own, I was getting bigger daddy, but still was your little girl, I was always your little girl
He was running right beside me
His hand holding on the back
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the sky
"You can let go now daddy
You can let go
Oh I think I'm ready to do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now daddy
You can let go"
I was really scared daddy, but I wanted you to be proud, you always said you were proud of me, when I became a Ravenclaw I was so scared you'd hate me, but do you remember what you said to me daddy, you told me no matter what house I was in, I was still your little girl. All throughout school, when I made the quidditch team as seeker, even when I beat al and Gryffindor for the cup you still swelled with pride. I remember my graduation, everyone shouting and cheering about school been over, I remember looking into the crowd and seeing your face, it had tears strolling down it, you said it was because your little girl was growing up and that I wouldn't need you anymore, that's not true daddy, never even for a second ever think that's true.
I was standing at the altar
between the two loves of my life
to one I've been a daughter
to one I soon would be a wife
I was in love with him daddy, I was in love with Scorpious Malfoy, the one boy I knew you would have something against, but you didn't daddy, you might not have liked him but you didn't hate me daddy, I was so sure that you would have that I would lose you, I was so sorry it was him but when I said this to you do you remember what you said to me daddy, you told me I could be marrying a reborn Voldemort and you would still love me because I would always be your little girl, I was getting married daddy, but I was still your little girl
When the minister asked
"Who gives this woman?"
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holding tightly to my arm
'Till I whispered in his ear:
"You can let go now daddy
You can let go
Oh I think I'm ready to do this on my own
It's still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now daddy
You can let go"
You were so proud that day daddy, do you remember your speech, you warned him daddy, you warned Scorpious that no matter how old I got I was still your little girl, he knew it already and daddy, so did I.
You were getting sick daddy, you were always so strong but you were growing older and getting sick, we knew it was time but daddy I didn't know if I was ready to let go yet daddy, I was so scared, but it was time for me to be strong for you daddy, you have always been the strong one, you were my rock daddy throughout everything you were my rock, now I knew it was my turn to be yours.
It was killing me
To see the strongest man I ever knew
Wasting away to nothing in that hospital room
"You know he's only hanging on for you"
That's what the mediwitch said
My voice and heart were breaking
As I crawled up in his bed and said:
You can let go now daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready to do this on my own
Its gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now daddy
You can let go
You can let go
You sighed daddy, just once and you squeezed my hand before those beautiful green eyes closed one last time the tears were flowing down my cheeks this time, I was so sure I actually heard my heart break.
I wrote this song daddy, I wrote it just for you, I sang it for you daddy, I sang it at your funeral, did you hear me, were you proud, I only ever wanted to make you proud. There was so many people daddy all there for you, even after all these years you were still their saviour, some guy made a speech and said you were everyone's saviour, you might have been but more importantly you were my daddy, and you were the best daddy in the word, I wont forget daddy, I'll never forget you, I'll always be your little girl.
Review … please :)
