Susan Ashton
Susan Ashton (born Susan Rae Hill, July 17, 1967) is an American contemporary Christian Music and country music artist who topped the Christian charts throughout the 1990s. In 1991 she began using her mother's maiden name, Ashton, when she recorded her first single, in order to distinguish herself from CCM singer Kim Hill.
Ashton has recorded eight studio albums to date, of which six were released on Sparrow Records. She has also charted nine number one hits on the Christian charts, and four singles on the Hot Country Songs charts; her highest-peaking song on the latter is 1999's "You're Lucky I Love You", which reached No. 37.
Biography
1991-1993
In 1991, she released her debut album, Wakened by the Wind, which became the top-selling debut in the history of the Sparrow Records label, with Ashton repeatedly reaching number one in the Christian charts that year. She was nominated for a Dove award for New Artist of the Year and won a CCM readers and reporters poll for Best New Artist. Ashton claimed that her fondest memories with Sparrow Records were during the recording of her first album, "That was so special and since I was so young and green, there was a real innocence in that process that's still beautiful to me. I can listen to anything on that record, and it's all very clear with distinct emotions attached to making it. I love everything about the lyrics, musicianship and instrumentation. There's one song, "No One Knows My Heart," where the drummer played a shoebox. On "Suffer in Silence," one of the instruments credited was a "pencil guitar."

Let Me Go
by: Susan AshtonSometimes the hardest people to say I love you to
Are the ones you love the most, I don't know why this is so
Maybe it's the years, the pride, the tears, the fear
The pain, I don't know, I don't know
When I was nurtured in your nest, you held my hand
For that I owe you so much, and those memories are mine
And I never want to lose them, but now these tender wings are dry
But I'll never learn to fly if you don't let me use them
Chorus:
Let me go, let me live or die a fool's death
Let me laugh, let me cry, let me learn the hard way
Let me grow, let me go
I am standing at the crossroads, looking on my life
So many choices to make but I have to choose
So hold me in your dreams, hold me in your thoughts
Hold me in your prayers and hold me in your heart and
CHORUS
