A time for letting go

Sometimes you find out what you wanted

Isn’t really what you need.

And the dream and all it’s promise

Was never meant to be.

All your hope and desperation

Won’t make it like it was.

You believe the pain will never pass

Believe me ... In time ... It does.

You’ve gotta know when love is over

You’ve gotta learn to carry on.

And with the world upon your shoulders

You walk away when hope is gone.

When your golden road has reached the end

You find the strength to start again.

You’ll know ...

There’s a time for love ... and a time for letting go.

When you’re standing tall tomorrow

Looking back at yesterday.

Through the memory of your sorrow

How the dawn was so far away?

You’ll be far beyond the shadows

Where hearts can learn to shine.

And you’ll realize

The endless night was only a moment in time.

You’ve gotta know when love is over.

You’ve gotta learn to carry on.

And with the world upon your shoulders

You walk away when hope is gone.

When your golden road has reached the end

You find the strength to start again.

You’ll know

There’s a time for love ... and a time for letting go.

The night is long

The night is cold

With nothing to believe in

Just hold on ...

'Cause life goes on'

Your new day is waiting

Let go ... and let it begin.

You’ve gotta know when love is over

You’ve gotta learn to carry on.

And with the world upon your shoulders

You find the strength when hope is gone.

When your golden road has reached the end

You find the strength to start again.

You’ll know

There’s a time for love ... and a time for letting go.

Time for letting go

There’s a time for letting go

You’ve gotta know when love is over

You’ve gotta learn to carry on ... carry on.

You’ve gotta know.
