There’s a young man sits by the river Got his head held down in his hands There’s a lost love in every teardrop And reasons that he just don’t understand
There’s a dirt road runs by the river Comes an old man stepping high with a soft voice and kind intentions he said son you know you’re too young to cry Some things were meant to just roll by
CHORUS: You’ve got to learn to let it go, when love lets you down Learn to let it go, so you don’t miss the one waiting to be found With a love that’s going to bring you round Only love is going to bring you around
He said now I know it’s hard to imagine that one day you wont feel so bad. I know you’re going to take comfort from this experience that I’ve had.
