The Clarks - Let You Go lyrics

A girl that he loved that he gave away

She said go boy go, will this make you stay

He said thanks a lot, he said not today

She tried so hard she tried so long

That she lost her sense of right and wrong

He said he heard a word coming from above

He said the closest thing to death is love

Hold on, no, don't let go

I want to hold you tonight and never let you go

Hold on, no, don't let go

I want to hold you tonight and never let you go

When you wait too long and you find out that what you had was free

And the tears you fought were telling you

Just what you really need

He had to sing a song so he left that land

He never said goodbye he never held her hand

He was home in a year a broken man

Couldn't find the girl who would love him again

Now the only girls that will hold him again

Are his mother and his sister Ann

And he drives around in the Chevrolet

And he sits in the back and he cries everyday

In the car that he let the girl get away

Hold on, no, don't let go

I want to hold you for life and never let you go

Hold on, no, don't let go

I want to hold you for life and never let you

Let you

Let you

Let you

Go
