There's a young man sits by the river got his head held down in his hands

There's a lost love in every teardrop and reasons that he just don't understand



There's a dirt road that runs by the river comes an old man stepping high

With a soft voice and kind intentions he said son you know you're too young to cry

Some things were meant to just roll by

You've got to learn to let it go when love lets you down

Learn to let it go so you don't miss the one waitin' to be found

With a love that's gonna bring you round only love is gonna bring you around



He said now I know it's hard to imagine that one day you won't feel so bad

I know you're gonna take comfort from this experience that I've had

There was a young girl a rave and beatu I loved her with a love deep and wild

But when I lost her to another that's when I found the mama of my child

Got bless the mama of my child

You've got to learn to let it go...

You've got to learn to let it go...

[ guitar ]

You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go

You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go

You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go

You've got to learn to let it go you've got to learn to let it go
