The invitation came yesterday
It took my breath away
All the memories came racing back
An endless attack
Friends forever he and I
But I held a secret
Hidden deep inside

And I've been holding on
To a love that never was
How can I mourn a dream
That didn't happen between us
And I'm the only one that knows
I've got to let him go

I never told him how I felt
I kept my feelings to myself
I was so afraid of what he'd say
I kept the truth locked away
But when I look into his eyes
I can't help but feeling
I'm losing him this time

And I've been holding on
To a love that never was
How can I mourn a dream
That didn't happen between us
And I'm the only one that knows
I've got to let him go

The preacher speaks now or forever
Our last chance to be together

And I'll let go
Of a love that never was
How can I mourn a dream
That didn't happen between us
And I'm the only one that knows
I've got to let him go
I've got to let him go
Let him go
