And I wrote this sky

But I'd understand that I'd never let it go

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered

And you never did learn to let the little things go

And you never did learn to let me be

And you never did learn to let little people grow

And you never did learn how to see

But I whisper that I love this man

Now and for forever to your soul as it floats out of the window
Referring to the soul departing and observing it leaving the confined space, possibly a metaphorical window.
To the world that you turned your back on
