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"
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 around
Only love is going to bring you around
He said, "Now I know, it's hard to imagine
That one day, you won't feel so bad
I know you're going to take comfort
From this experience that I've had"
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 around
Only love is going to bring you around
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 around
Only love is going to bring you around
