I wanted to feel like a bird

On the wings of time

But it was not our time



I wanted to lie for a while

In the fields and dream

But it was not to be



Cause sometimes you got to let love go

Even though it's hurting, even though

And sometimes you got to let love slide

With the river

The river of life



I wanted to hold you so long

In the dark till dawn

But I could feel you go



I wanted to sing in my head

I could hear a song

But it was not our song



Oh, yes

Sometimes you got to let love go

Even though it's hurting, even though

And sometimes you got to let love slide

With the river

The river of life



The river of life



Sometimes you got to let love go

Even though it's hurting, even though

And sometimes you got to let love slide

With the river

The river of life



And sometimes you got to let love slide

With the river

The river of life
