Here we stand
Each of us afraid to make a sound
Hoping love will turn this thing around
And I know what I must do

CHORUS:
So I will let you go
Yes fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope it is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go

Sometimes
Two steps back is just what lovers need
Not knowing that it's love
That makes us free
So I'll be brave and retreat

CHORUS:
'cause I will let you go
Fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go

No it's not, no it's not fair darling
Missing precious hours, precious days
Making you figure out
What I know to be true
Love remains

Fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
I know
But I must let you go
