Sometimes you find out what you wanted
Isn't really what you need
And the dream in all it's promise
Was never meant to be
All your hopes and desperation
Won't make it like it was
And you believe that pain will never pass
Believing in time it does
You gotta know when love is over
You gotta learn to carry on and with
The world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You'll find the strength to start again you know
There's a time for love and a time for letting go
When you're standing tall tomorrow
Looking back at yesterday
Through the memory of your sorrow
How the dawn was so far away
You'll be far beyond the shadows
Where hearts can learn to shine
And you realize the endless night
Was only a moment in time
But you gotta know when love is over
You gotta learn to carry on and when
The world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You'll find the strength to start again you know
There's a time for love and a time for letting go
The night is long the night is cold
Nothing to believe in
Just hold on this life goes on
Your new day is breaking
Let go and let it begin
You gotta know when love is over
You gotta learn to carry on and with
The world upon your shoulders
Find the strength when hope is gone
When you know that love has reached the end
You find the strength to start again you know
There's a time for love and a time
For letting go
Time for letting go
Yeah
There's a time for letting go
You gotta know when love is over
You gotta learn to carry on
Oh
