(Writers: Mike Reid, Rory Bourke)
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.
Chorus:
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 going to bring you around
Only love is going to 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 going to take comfort
From 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.
Chorus:
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 going to bring you around
Only love is going to bring you around
Chorus:
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 going to bring you around
Only love is going to bring you around.
--- Instrumental to fade ---
Got to learn to let it go (x8)
