Letting Go- Jekyll & Hyde 1997 Original Broadway Cast Recording
[SIR DANVERS]
Emma, don't you understand!
It's you I am concerned for

[EMMA]
Father, don't be!
You should be concerned for him!
He's the one in need!

[SIR DANVERS]
I am only trying to protect you!
What else would you have your father do?

I think I would die
If any harm should come to you

I'm scared, my child
Because I'm going to lose you

I find it very hard
To let you go!

[EMMA]
Father
If you try to
You could never lose me!
Darling father
I still love you
More than you will ever know!

But if we want our love to grow -

[SIR DANVERS]
I know, in time, I have to let you go

[EMMA & SIR DANVERS]
We mustn't be afraid of letting go...
