A Time for Letting Go Lyrics by Michael Bolton

The One Thing

0

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you find out what you wanted
Isn't really what you need
And the dream in all it's promise
Was never meant to be
All your hope and desperation won't make it like it was
And you believe the pain will never pass
Believe me in time it does
[Chorus]
You've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
And with the world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You'll find the strength to start again, you know
There's a time for love and a time for letting go
[Verse 2]
When you're standing tall tomorrow
Looking back at yesterday
And through the memory of your sorrow
How the dawn was so far away
You'll be far beyond the shadows
Where hearts can learn to shine
And you realize the endless night was only a moment in time
[Chorus]
You've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
And with the world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You'll find the strength to start again, you know
There's a time for love and a time for letting go
[Bridge]
The night is long, the night is cold
With nothing to believe in
Just hold on 'cause life goes on
Your new day is waiting
So let go and let it begin
[Chorus]
You've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
And with the world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You'll find the strength to start again you know
There's a time for love and a time for letting go
