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) (Beyond Beauty)
