"Let You Go" by The Clarks

He met a girl on the beach in his Chevrolet
A girl that he loved that he gave away
She said go boy go, will this make you stay
He said thanks a lot, he said not today
She tried so hard she tried so long
That she lost her sense of right and wrong
He said he heard a word coming from above
He said the closest thing to death is love

Hold on, no, don't let go
I want to hold you tonight and never let you go
Hold on, no, don't let go
I want to hold you tonight and never let you go

When you wait too long and you find out that what you had
was free
And the tears you fought were telling you
Just what you really need

He had to sing a song so he left that land
He never said goodbye he never held her hand
He was home in a year a broken man
Couldn't find the girl who would love him again
Now the only girls that will hold him again
Are his mother and his sister Ann
And he drives around in the Chevrolet
And he sits in the back and he cries everyday
In the car that he let the girl get away

Hold on, no, don't let go
I want to hold you for life and never let you go
Hold on, no, don't let go
I want to hold you for life and never let you
Let you
Let you
Let you
Go
