I had it all and let it go <br /> <br />I had it all and let it go<br />The fool I was, I didn’t know<br />How diamond dreams can turn to dust<br />But now I know sometimes they must<br />The saying goes: when love is wise<br />It sees through all the little lies<br />I know you once believed in me<br />You gave me hope, but finally<br />Your faith in me faded away <br />It hurts to know<br />That for a while, I had it all<br />And let it go<br /> <br /><br />They’re telling me, life must go on<br />And all our friends know that you’re gone<br />They ask me out and I say no<br />I had it all and let it go<br />And such a man may just as well<br />Stay locked inside his prison cell<br />The perfect place for such a fool<br />I’ve earned my fate, however cruel<br />And I was weak when you stood tall<br />It hurts to know<br />That for a while, I had it all<br />And let it go<br /> <br />Is this the moment to accept?<br />The pain of love’s hard to forget <br />I see our footprints in the sand <br />Re-mem-ber when I held your hand <br />The rainbow bridges we once crossed<br />Crying tears ~for what we lost <br />The past- Just a distant place <br />I see your light,I see your face<br />But now there’s no-one there to catch me when I fall<br />It’s too late I let it go,<br />I had it all.<br /><br /> <br />I need to try to live again<br />I’ll find a way to cope - but when <br />the world means nothing without you<br />Such loneliness I never knew<br />I want the feeling like before <br />But I can’t love-any more<br />What’s left -to look forward to?<br />I’m calling out I reach for you<br />I had it all (and let it go)<br />(Beyond Beauty)
