There's a young man sits by the river got his head held down in his hands
There's a lost love in every teardrop and reasons that he just don't understand

There's a dirt road that runs by the river comes an old man stepping high
With a soft voice and kind intentions he said son you know you're too young to cry
Some things were meant to just roll by
You've got to learn to let it go when love lets you down
Learn to let it go so you don't miss the one waitin' to be found
With a love that's gonna bring you round only love is gonna bring you around

He said now I know it's hard to imagine that one day you won't feel so bad
I know you're gonna take comfort from this experience that I've had
There was a young girl a rave and beatu I loved her with a love deep and wild
But when I lost her to another that's when I found the mama of my child
Got bless the mama of my child
You've got to learn to let it go...
You've got to learn to let it go...

You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go
