Lyrics
IN THE WARM STILL AIR OF SUMMER
HOURS INTO NIGHT,
THE SHADOWS FILL WITH DREAMS OF LOVE
AND EVERYTHING IS RIGHT
IF ONLY FOR THE BRIEFEST TIME
WHILE FLOODED WITH THE PAST,
YOUR HEART IS FREE AND YOU ARE YOUNG
WISHING IT COULD LAST
SO LET IT GO, YOUR BREATH AND SOUL
AND SET IT ALL ASIDE
FOR SOON SOME NIGHT, THE WARM SWEET AIR
WILL FIND YOU WHERE YOU HIDE.
WHEN REMEMBERING THE DREAMS OF LOVE
OF NIGHTS TOO FULL TO LAST,
YOU ONLY GET A MOMENT
TO SEE WHAT WENT TOO FAST
SO PAINT A PICTURE IN YOUR HEART
AND SAVE IT FOR THE YEARS
AND EVERY TIME SWEET AIR COMES BACK,
YOU'LL FEEL IT IN NEW TEARS.
(repeat bridge)
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO
OR HOW MUCH YOU PRETEND,
THE PROMISE WILL NOT COME AGAIN,
THE MAGIC HAS TO END..
SO LET IT GO
