You Can Let Go

We Could Be Beautiful

You Can Let Go - Sara Rose

You held my hand when I was little, and I hold you in my heart forever

I’m wishing for just a handful of minutes to hug you a few seconds longer

Kissed your cheek, caught a tear on the way out, you’re holdin’ on tight

You lived your life never afraid to try, you held your heart open wide

I’m in pieces, cause no one teaches

Us to hurt this way

But it’s like you said of all our days it’s only on one we’ll die

And I wish this goodbye could see another hello but I can see it in your eyes

You can let go

I know we’ll be alright

Our worlds will never be the same but you’ll live on

In my heart and in my mind

I know you’re waiting to fly

You can let go now

It’s alright

Grandpa’s holding on so tight, he’s never left your side

He says it’s the little things that bring his heart to pieces every time

Cause it’s so hard to not be able to take away the pain

Every word catches my breath because time will have its way

Oh I’m in pieces, cause you taught me everything

Except how to live without you

But I know love and it never dies and you’ll be here just in a different way

And I don’t know if you can hear me, but I love you and if you’re ready

You can let go

I know we’ll be alright

Our worlds will never be the same but you’ll live on

In my heart and in my mind

I know you’re waiting to fly

You can let go now

It’s alright

Memories of a life that’s been loved are playing over in my mind

And no matter how hard I try I’ll never be ready to say goodbye

Cause if love could have saved you, I know it would have

But we know life doesn’t work that way

You can let go

I know we’ll be alright

Our worlds will never be the same but you’ll live on

In my heart and in my mind

You’re an angel

Ready to fly

You’re an angel
