Letting You Go

Now I’ve found my strength to move on,

And I wish you all the best,

But I’ve got to be strong.

And I can do this on my own,

I don't need anybody’s arms

To carry me along.

Don’t be sad baby,

We were together, but together

We'll not make it through the storm.

We had each other,

There was no other, but my lover,

There's still something going wrong.

I’m leaving, I’m going but don’t stand there crying for me,

I’ll find my own way

And you’ll find your own way too.

I’m sorry, but one day you’ll look back and thank me for this,

I’ll always love you,

But loving you means letting you go.

I thank you for loving me so long

Oh but my darling, darling baby,

It’s time to move on.

But remember, remember

Time is a healer, for us both,

And we’ll always have this song.

Don't look back baby,

Looking back now, will compact how,

What we’ve suffered was all wrong.

Look beyond us,

Far above us, and you'll soon see

What we had is never gone.

I’m leaving, I’m going but don’t stand there crying for me,

I’ll find my own way

And you’ll find your own way too.

I’m sorry, but one day you’ll look back and thank me for this,

I’ll always love you,

But loving you means letting you go.

We had it all and it could have been right,

But I couldn’t take all of those lonely nights...

Those lonely nights.

So I’m leaving, I’m going but don’t stand there crying for me,

I’ll find my own way

And you’ll find your own way too.

I’m sorry, but one day you’ll look back and thank me for this,

I’ll always love you,

But loving you means letting you go.
