"Let It Go" lyrics

You know it wasn't so long ago
When things weren't as we know
Back when I was younger and had a hunger
For all the things I didn't know

And I remember the day when
I went out to play
And a bird flew down to my hand
Didn't want to leave it
When asked to keep
I remember my dad said

Yeah son let it go away
Hope that it comes back
Here to you someday
Just let it go away
And if it comes back
You know it's here to stay

Since then I've gone through changes
Since then I've gone through life
Since then I found me a beautiful woman
I thought could be my wife
She said she really loves me
But she said she couldn't stay
She said I've got to go my love
To find things my own way

So I let her go away, go away
Hope that she comes back
Here to me someday
I let her go away (let it go away, go away)
And if she comes back
I know she's here to stay

There's not always reasons for the things in life
But it's comforting to know within your mind
If you love something enough
And you've done all that you can
If there's one thing I have known and learned first hand
Sometimes you have to just let it go away, go away

Hope that it comes back
Here to you someday
Just let it go away (let it go away, go away)
And if it comes back
You know it's here to stay

Let it go away (let it go away, go away)
And if it comes back
You know it's here to stay
Let it go
