Letting go (b. streisand)
by Barbara Streisand

A child that hides behind a chair
Almost afraid to grow
Without you there
Whisper words that make you see
What you´ve come to mean to me
A voice that rises from the heart
The hunger seizes me
And tears my soul apart
And serving only to renew
How I came to feel for you
Through your love I´d see forever
We became as one
I never saw you turn away
My love was blind
You call me when your storm is over
Crying over love that I can give you
When the night is colder
Holding on to me
´Cause it´s so hard letting go
And it´s so hard not to cry
With your face that lies
You memorize the reason why
And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It´s so hard letting go
Foolish that I still believe
That love should never die
It makes me cry to witness where the story ends
All the lovers in the world
Will echo all the words
That I will leave you
When the night is lonely
Only goes to show
That it´s so hard letting go
And it´s so hard not to cry
And I kneel and pray for yesterday
When you were mine
And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It´s so hard letting go.
Almost afraid to grow

And tears my soul apart
And serving only to renew

Through your love I´d see forever
We became as one
I never saw you turn away
My love was blind
You call me when your storm is over
Crying over love that I can give you
When the night is colder
Holding on to me
´Cause it´s so hard letting go
And it´s so hard not to cry

And it´s so hard not to cry
And I kneel and pray for yesterday
When you were mine
And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It´s so hard letting go.
