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
