A child that hides behind a chair   Almost afraid to grow   Without you there   Whisper words that make you see   What you've come to mean to me      A voice that rises from the heart   The hunger seizes me   And tears my soul apart   And serving only to renew   How I came to feel for you      Through your love I'd see forever   We became as one   I never saw you turn away   My love was blind   You call me when your storm is over   Crying over love that I can give you   When the night is colder   Holding on to me      'Cause it's so hard letting go   And it's so hard not to cry   With your face that lies   You memorize the reason why      And when the love is gone   Then one of us will know   It's so hard letting go   Foolish that I still believe   That love should never die   It makes me cry to witness where the story ends   All the lovers in the world   Will echo all the words   That I will leave you   When the night is lonely   Only goes to show      That it's so hard letting go   And it's so hard not to cry   And I kneel and pray for yesterday   When you were mine      And when the love is gone   Then one of us will know   It's so hard letting go.
