The Beginning

I wanted to feel like a bird on the wings of time

But it was not our time

I wanted to lie for a while in the fields and dream

But it was not to be

Cuz sometimes you've gotta let love go

Even though it's hurting, even though

And sometimes you've got to let love slide

Out with the river, the river of life

I wanted to hold you so long in the dark till dawn

But I could feel you go

I wanted to sing; in my head I could hear a song

But it was not our song

Cuz sometimes you've gotta let love go

Even though it's hurting, even though

Sometimes you've gotta let love slide

Out with the river, the river of life
