Judy Collins - The Rest Of Your Life CAPO: 3rd Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] Every mother has to let her child go Even though it may tear her apart I can hear the lullabies I sang you Now you stand taller than my heart [Verse 2] You know you can break my heart so easily You can make my day with just a smile One word from you can melt the winter snow Make me forget the longest mile___ [Chorus] Whatever you’re doing for the rest of your life I’m here to tell you you can count on me No use my worrying I know you can fly I’ve gotta let you go gotta set you free I’ve gotta set you free [Verse 3] The road we walked was never easy I know I stumbled on the way I thought I knew what I was doing When I was wrong you had to pay___ [Verse 4] I hope by now you can forgive me And take the good I had to give I was too young to be your teacher We learned together how to live [Chorus] Whatever you’re doing for the rest of your life I’m here to tell you you can count on me No use my worrying I know you can fly I’ve gotta let you go gotta set you free I’ve gotta set you free [Verse 5] I only hope you will be happy I want the very best for you The only prize that’s worth the battle Is finding love you know is true___ [Chorus] Whatever you’re doing for the rest of your life I’m here to tell you you can count on me No use my worrying I know you can fly I’ve gotta let you go gotta set you free [Chorus] (fade to end) Whatever you’re doing for the rest of your life I’m here to tell you you can count on me No use my worrying I know you can fly I’ve gotta let you go gotta set you free

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la séparation entre une mère et son enfant, soulignant les émotions complexes que cela engendre. Elle exprime le douloureux lâcher-prise que ressent une mère, tout en affirmant son soutien inconditionnel envers son enfant qui grandit. Au fil des vers, on ressent le regret des erreurs passées, mais aussi l’espoir de voir l'autre s'épanouir dans la vie. Dans un cadre probablement autobiographique ou fictif, le texte reflète les joies et les peines liées à l’éducation, piquant la curiosité sur l’avenir de l’enfant. La mère souhaite avant tout que son enfant trouve le bonheur et l'amour véritable, tout en acceptant qu'il doit désormais tracer son propre chemin.
