It's the morning after the longest night
I hold your dying hand in mine
I understand there's nothing I can do
But I'll try my best to comfort you
You look so peaceful, there's no more pain
Was that a smile when I whispered your name
I know the time has come for you to leave
And give into the force of the disease
We're all just passing through into the past
Fading footprints in a sea of sand
We have our hearts and souls
Something's we cannot hold, we have to let go
♪
When you're gone, where you were still stays
'Cause through me your spirit will remain
I'm grateful for this chance to say goodbye
And to be here when you fly into the light
We're all just passing through into the past
Fading footprints in a sea of sand
We have our hearts and souls
Something's we cannot hold, we have to let go
♪
We're all going places we never thought we'd go
There's a scheme of things it's not for us to know
It's not for us to know
We're all just passing through into the past
Fading footprints in a sea of sand
We have our hearts and souls
Something's we cannot hold, we have to let go
We'll have to let go
Just let it go
