| You know it wasn’t so long ago
|
| When things weren’t as we know
|
| Back when I was younger
|
| And had a hunger for all the things I didn’t know
|
| And I remember the day when I went out to play
|
| And a bird flew down to my hand
|
| Didn’t want to leave it
|
| When asked to keep I remember my dad said
|
| Son…
|
| Let it go away
|
| Hope that it comes back here to you someday
|
| Just let it go away
|
| And if it comes back
|
| You know its here to stay
|
| Since then I’ve gone through changes
|
| Since then I’ve gone through life
|
| Since then I found me a beautiful woman I thought could be my wife
|
| She said she really loves me, but she said she couldn’t stay
|
| She said I’ve got to go my love to find things my own way
|
| So I…
|
| Let her go away (go away)
|
| Hope that she comes back here to me someday
|
| I let her go away (let it go away, go away)
|
| And if she comes back
|
| I know she’s here to stay
|
| There’s not always reasons for the things in life
|
| But its comforting to know within you’re mind
|
| If you love something enough
|
| And you’ve done all that you can
|
| If there’s one thing I have known and learned first hand
|
| Sometimes you have to just…
|
| Let it go away (go away)
|
| Hope that it comes back here to you someday
|
| Just let it go away (let it go away, go away)
|
| And if it comes back
|
| You know it’s here to stay
|
| Let it go away (let it go away go away)
|
| And if it comes back
|
| You know it’s here to stay
|
| Let it go |
