Lyrics
After You Let Go
by Ben Scales
Hey, thanks for coming over
and callin' on the phone.
This is all so new to me,
Lonely but not alone.
I need to find an answer.
I wonder if you might know.
Why am I still holding on
After you let go?
I'll follow the river,
But I won't cross the stream.
I feel you shiver,
But only in my dreams.
Oh, I've made you cry now.
No, don't be ashamed.
It's just basic human frailty.
No one but God to blame.
So, let us dance like lovers,
Gently swaying to and fro,
And I will still be holding on
After you let go.
You are the forest,
And I am but a tree.
I feel you shiver
With every falling leaf.
So, no, please don't indulge me.
Save me from my greed.
It may be what I want,
But it's not what the family needs.
Look into my eyes once more.
By now, you should know
That I will still be holding on
After you let go.
Let go of the fantasy.
Hold on to the dream.
I'll cross the river.
It's easier downstream.
Close your arms around me, darling.
Feel me in your clothes,
And I will still be holding on
After you let go.
