I know where I'm supposed to be,
Beside you now,
But they won't let me.
They're taking you away.

So here I'll lay,
Eventually I'll waste away and they'll come get me
To place me next to you.
Right next to...

Beautiful, letting go of all we've held on to.
Why can't I, why can't I?
Beautiful, letting go of all you know is true.
Why can't I, let you go?

And on and on and until,
I see no good to be angry with myself.
I'll toss and turn tonight.
When did I get so uncivilized?
I could not awake from seeping.
I could do just fine, for most of the time,
'Til see my own reflection.

So tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
I could not continue sleeping.
I can fool myself for most of the time,
Until I see my own reflection.
'Cause that reminds me of...

Beautiful, letting go of all we've held on to.
Why can't I, why can't I?
Beautiful, letting go of all you know is true.
Why can't I, let you go?

And what else could have happened?
Oh my dear, all my life, without you?
And what else could have happened?
So come away, come away with me love.

And I'll find the place you keep your favorite things
Try to make you fall in love I can't be sure
And now I know in my heart,
I never lost a thing 'til I lost you, my love.

My beautiful letting go of all we've held on to.
Why can't I, why can't I?
Beautiful, letting go of all you know is true.
Why can't I, let you go?
