There's a young man, sits by the river
Got his head held down in his hands
There's a lost love in every teardrop
And reasons that he just don't understand
There's a dirt road that runs by the river
Comes an old man, stepping high
With a soft voice and kind intentions
He said, son you know you're too young to cry
Some things were meant to just roll by
You've got to learn to let it go
When love lets you down
Learn to let it go
So you don't miss the one waitin' to be found
With a love that's gonna bring you around
Only love is gonna bring you around
He said, now I know it's hard to imagine
That one day you wont feel so bad
I know you're gonna take comfort
And this experience that I had
There was a young girl, a raving beauty
I loved her with a love deep and wide
But when I lost her to another
That's when I found the momma of my child
God bless the momma of my child
You've got to learn to let it go
When love lets you down
Learn to let it go
So you don't miss the one waiting to be found
With a love that's gonna bring you around
Only love is gonna bring you around
You've got to learn to let it go
When love lets you down
Learn to let it go
So you don't miss the one waiting to be found
With a love that's gonna bring you around
Only love is gonna bring you around
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
You've got to learn to let it go
