Lyrics
Had To Let You Go
There were warnings on the rise of the storm about to blow
Follow everywhere in time
Follow everywhere I go
And I had to let you go
Over hills and under water
From sea to shining sea
There were dreams left long forgotten
And I had to set them free in me
And I had to let you go
Believe me now and listen
Hear the love in every word I say
It?s easier to die than to leave tonight this way
But you?d only be my sacrifice
I?d only be your cause of pain
But to know that you?re not mine
Feels so strange
And I had to let you go
