Lyrics Let Love In - Nashville Cast, Rhiannon Giddens

Let Love In

When I was a young girl
I heard the old folks say
You can’t love just anyone
Lock your heart away
So I learned to keep my heart
Way up on the shelf
Now I know you can’t love anyone
Until you love yourself
Let love in, let love in
Let it take you to a place you’ve never been
Let love in, let love in
You know you might never get this chance again
Now I am an older girl
And wiser, I believe
I don’t lock my heart away
I wear it on my sleeve
When you’re brave and true in love
You gotta learn to say goodbye
You can’t live in the memory
Gotta spread your wings and fly
Let love go, let love go
Let it light a path through truth, through the unknown
Let love go, let love go
Set it free so it can find its way back home
Now I know who I wanna be
Now I know my heart
Now I know holding on too tight’s tearing me apart
Letting go of yesterday
Letting in that light
Searching for a brand new wave and everything’s alright
Let it in
Let love in, let love in
Let it take you to a place you’ve never been
Let love go, let love go
Set it free so it can find its way back home
