I had it all .... Beyond Beauty _ Jason Kouchak

I had it all and let it go

I had it all and let it go
The fool I was, I didn’t know
How diamond dreams can turn to dust
But now I know sometimes they must
The saying goes: when love is wise
It sees through all the little lies
I know you once believed in me
You gave me hope, but finally
Your faith in me faded away
It hurts to know
That for a while, I had it all
And let it go


They’re telling me, life must go on
And all our friends know that you’re gone
They ask me out and I say no
I had it all and let it go
And such a man may just as well
Stay locked inside his prison cell
The perfect place for such a fool
I’ve earned my fate, however cruel
And I was weak when you stood tall
It hurts to know
That for a while, I had it all
And let it go

Is this the moment to accept?
The pain of love’s hard to forget
I see our footprints in the sand
Re-mem-ber when I held your hand
The rainbow bridges we once crossed
Crying tears ~for what we lost
The past- Just a distant place
I see your light,I see your face
But now there’s no-one there to catch me when I fall
It’s too late I let it go,
I had it all.


I need to try to live again
I’ll find a way to cope - but when
the world means nothing without you
Such loneliness I never knew
I want the feeling like before
But I can’t love-any more
What’s left -to look forward to?
I’m calling out I reach for you
I had it all (and let it go)
