I always knew
I didn't ever want to slow you down
That you'd do great things
I was there when you learned
To use your wings
And I saw you leave the ground
And maybe the reason I was here at all
The time I spent in your sweet arms
Was the best time that I've known
Was to see you carry on
So don't you know I still remember
How once I was someone to you
And girl you were meant
For something better
It doesn't matter anymore
What you think of me
I'm just proud to be
Part of your history
'Cause you were growing up so fast
And sometimes you can lose so much
I knew the time was coming soon
When you try to make it last
I always knew you'd do great things
I was there when you learned
I didn't ever want to slow you down
To use your wings
And I saw you leave the ground
So don't you know I still remember
How once I was someone to you
And girl you were meant
It doesn't matter anymore
For something better
I'm just proud to be
What you think of me
Part of your history
It doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you sent me free
I'm just proud to be
Part of your history
