Speaking from experience
I know what you've been through
I know you're hurt I have been hurt too
Love dies hard and life goes on
Only time will tell
CHORUS:
When to hold on, When to let go
When to forget and not let it show
When you reach out I will be there
Love finds a way when somebody cares
Enough to hold on
We fan the flames
That moves the heart
And brings us here tonight
Looking at you I know memories never die
Love tries so hard and life goes on
And only time will tell
CHORUS:
When to hold on, When to let go
When to forget and not let it show
When you reach out I will be there
Love finds a way when somebody cares
Enough to hold on
Look at the pieces of our lives
We try to make some sese
Here you are back into my life
Both of us wondering again
CHORUS:
When to hold on, When to let go
When to forget and not let it show
When you reach out I will be there
Love finds a way when somebody cares
Enough to hold on
