|
There's a young man, sits by the river |
|
Got his head held down in his hands |
|
There's a lost love in every teardrop |
|
And reasons that he just don't understand. |
|
There's a dirt road that runs by the river |
|
Comes an old man, stepping high |
|
With a soft voice and kind intentions |
|
He said, son you know you're too young to cry |
|
Some things were meant to just roll by. |
|
Chorus: |
|
You've got to learn to let it go, |
|
When love lets you down |
|
Learn to let it go, |
|
So you don't miss the one waiting to be found |
|
With a love that's going to bring you around |
|
Only love is going to bring you around. |
|

|
He said, now I know it's hard to imagine |
|
That one day you wont feel so bad. |
|
I know you're going to take comfort |
|
From this experience that I had. |
|
There was a young girl, a raving beauty |
|
I loved her with a love deep and wide |
|
But when I lost her to another |
|
That's when I found the momma of my child |
|
God bless the momma of my child. |
|
Chorus: |
|
You've got to learn to let it go, |
|
When love lets you down |
|
Learn to let it go, |
|
So you don't miss the one waiting to be found |
|
With a love that's going to bring you around |
|
Only love is going to bring you around |
|
Chorus: |
|
You've got to learn to let it go, |
|
When love lets you down |
|
Learn to let it go, |
|
So you don't miss the one waiting to be found |
|
With a love that's going to bring you around |
|
Only love is going to bring you around. |
