A Time for Letting Go lyrics

Sometimes you find out what you wanted

Isn't really what you need

And the dream in all its promise

Was never meant to be

All your hopes and desperation

Won't make it like it was

And you believe the pain will never end

Believe me in time it does

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 find a way to start again

You know

There's a time for love and a time for letting go

When you're standin' tall tomorrow

Looking back at yesterday

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'll realize the endless night

Was only a moment in time

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 find a way to start again

You know

There's a time for love and a time for letting go

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, let go and let it begin

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 find a way to start again

You know

There's a time for love and a time for letting go

There's a time for love

There's a time for letting go

You've gotta know when love is over

You've gotta learn to carry on

Carry on
