Lyrics

Let it Go
© 2003 Jesse Rubenfeld

[1]
All I wanted was to sing for you
With a voice so soft and sweet
Soaring high and drifting low for you
All my melodies complete
But I'm holding back the truth
And I'm spending all my youth
On a dream, on a dream

And it's time to let it go
Walk on home and go to sleep
I already know that this path is just too steep
And for you, my love, I only want to win
But I've worn myself too thin
And tonight I must breath in
Some tomorrow
And then move from where I've been
Feel the morning in my skin
And find it to begin
Something new

[2]
Elders talk of chasing dreams to me
As their eyes fill up with time
Well perhaps it wasn't meant to be
Say the younger in their prime
And the street musicians buzz
And I feel as if I was
One of them, one of them

And it's time to let it go
Walk on home and go to sleep
I already know that this water's just too deep
And on my life, I only want to win
But I've worn myself too thin
And tonight I must breath in
Some tomorrow
And then move from where I've been
Feel the morning in my skin
And find it to begin
Something new

[3]
It was all laid out and neatly planned
There was just to follow through
Learn the words that people understand
And to sing the music too
I would use it all for good
I was sure I understood
What to do, what to do

But it's time to let it go
Walk on home and go to sleep
I already know that my faith can no more leap
And Oh My Lord, I only want to win
But I've worn myself too thin
And tonight I must breath in
Some tomorrow
And then move from where I've been
Feel the morning in my skin
And find it to begin
Something new
