BEFORE I LET IT GO


I REMEMBER WHEN
YOU GAVE ME EVERYTHING
THEN IT DISAPPEARED
LIKE THE WINTER IN THE SPRING
IN EVERY FLOWER THAT BLOOMS
I CAN SEE YOUR FACE
WILL IT COME AROUND AGAIN
IN SOME OTHER TIME OR SPACE

IN THE QUIET OF NIGHT
I PRAY FOR YOU
MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW
AND WHATEVER YOU FEEL FOR ME
WILL YOU EVER BE ABLE TO LET IT SHOW
BEFORE I LET IT GO

I STOOD ALONE BEFORE YOU
IN MUTE TESTIMONY
KNOWING ALL THE WHILE
THE DANGER THAT COULD BE
DID I NOT SPEAK SOON ENOUGH
OR WAS THE RIVER TO WIDE
TO MAKE YOUR GREAT ESCAPE
AND REACH THE OTHER SIDE

DREAM A DREAM
LIFE IS HARD
ONE THING YOU CAN BET
I WILL NOT FORGET
