Here we stand   Each of us afraid to make a sound   Hoping love will turn this thing around   And I know what I must do      CHORUS:   So I will let you go   Yes fly away my love   Linger for awhile   Live for a strangers smile   And hope it is enough   You'll return   But I must let you go      Sometimes   Two steps back is just what lovers need   Not knowing that it's love   that makes us free   So I'll be brave and retreat      CHORUS:   'cause I will let you go   Fly away my love   Linger for awhile   Live for a strangers smile   And hope that is enough   You'll return   But I must let you go      No it's not, no it's not fair darling   Missing precious hours, precious days   Making you figure out   What I know to be true   Love remains      Fly away my love   Linger for awhile   Live for a strangers smile   And hope that is enough   You'll return   I know   But I must let you go
