(Writers: Mike Reid, Rory Bourke) 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 that 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 around Only love is going to bring you around. --- Instrumental --- 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 had. There was a young girl, a raving beauty I loved her with a love deep and wide But when I lost her to another That's when I found the momma of my child God bless the momma of my child. 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 around Only love is going to bring you around 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 around Only love is going to bring you around. --- Instrumental to fade --- Got to learn to let it go (x8)
