You can look away   But you can't disguise   The light that shines so brightly   Is gone from your eyes      It wasn't my mistake   It's nothing you did wrong   Sometimes learning to surrender   Is the same as being strong      Letting go   Letting go   The hardest part is knowing   That I'll miss you so      I'd like to wish you well   Oh, but it hurts you know   Sometimes doing what is right   Means letting go, yeah      As we walk away   Leaving it all behind   I hope we will be satisfied   With what we'll find      And if it's not all you want   I hope it's good enough   To make it worth   The precious things, we're giving up      Letting go   Letting go   The hardest part is knowing   That I'll miss you so      I'd like to wish you well   Hey but it hurts you know   Sometimes doing what is right   Means letting go      Sometimes late at night   I can't believe the things I hear   An angel comes to me   And whispers in my ears      Saying there's a time to read   And a time of the soul   A time for holding on   And a time just for      Letting go   Letting go   The hardest part is knowing   That I'll miss you so      I'd like to wish you well   Girl but it hurts you know   Sometimes doing what is right   Means letting go      I'd like to wish you well   Oh, but it hurts you know   Sometimes doing what is right   Means letting go, oh
