Question
i am looking for a song to play at my daughters graduation slide show. it is by a female country artist and the song i believe was done in the late 80's or early 90's. its about a little girl growing up and i had it on cassett and it got thrown away by accident.

Answer
I'm not sure if this is the song you're looking for, but it was the first one that came to mind for me...  If it's not the song you had in mind, let me know, and I'll keep looking!  Hope this helps!

Suzy Bogguss' "Letting Go"

She'll take the painting in the hallway,
The one she did in jr. high
And that old lamp up in the attic,
She'll need some light to study by.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.
