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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/debbie_gibson/i_will_let_you_go.html ]
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
For me, it means either one of two things, you think of someone liking you but then you realize they don't love your or like you back and so you must let them go so you're not stuck in only thinking about them or it means you've tried in your relationship but it didn't work out and instead of holding onto what could've been or should've been she has to let him go.
