Time, will rob you blind, take everything you have to offer
Love, sweet when it comes, saves all us beggars, priests, and authors
And oh, how do we let go when someone we love slips away in the shadows
Well it's hard to see you go, 'cause you mean everything to me
And the seeds that you have sewn will live on deep inside of me
It's time, you're leaving now
Your hands are cold as I kiss your brow
And I will try, but I don't know how
To let go
To let go

Years, fly without fear, turning a boy into a father
And now he smiles, through tears down the isle
As he gives away his youngest daughter
And oh, how do we let go when every new step leads us into the unknown
And it's hard to see you go, 'cause you mean everything to me
And the seeds that you have sewn will live on deep inside of me
It's time, you're leaving now
Your hands are cold as I kiss your brow
And I will try, but I don't know how
To let go

And every new morning, all I can do
Is hold onto the promise that we all hope is true
That when it's all over, when this life is through
I'll wake up in heaven and run to find you

Well it's still hard to see you go, 'cause you mean everything to me
And the seeds that you have sewn will live on deep inside of me
It's time, you're leaving now
Your hands are cold as I kiss your brow
And I will try, but I don't know how
To let go
To let go
To let go
To let go
