If You Really Love Her, Let Her Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Please give me one more chance,
I'm begging you, just one more chance,
If you'll listen...
This is not some movie romance,
Or everlasting love at a glance,
Won't you listen...
She is a part of me now,
She's the very heart of me now, so...
If you really love her, let her go.
She's your daughter and I know that you care,
But like a lost bird in the cold night air,
She is lonely...
Thinking back to the days you were young,
When the pain of loving was so very strong,
Weren't you lonely?
She is no longer a child,
She's a woman with love in her eyes, so...
If you really love her, let her go.
Oh she is like a bird,
Yearning for the winter wind,
If you let her go,
She'll come again in springtime,
But if you make her stay,
And hold her freedom in your hand,
In the morning you will wake,
And she'll be gone away...
She is no longer a child,
She's a woman with my love in her eyes, so...
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go...
