[Verse 1]
The hand is cold that once held mine
I can't believe you've gone and left this world behind
I can wait, I can hope
I'll get over this in time

[Chorus]
It takes time to learn when someone's gone for good
They're not coming back like you wish they would
In the empty hours when you miss them so
Well it's time to learn to let them go

[Verse 2]
Your last hour I never knew
I never had the chance to say goodbye to you
Words unsaid, things undone
We'd just begun and now we'll never see them through

[Chorus]
'Cause it takes time to learn when someone's gone for good
They're not coming back like you wish they would
In the empty hours when you miss them so
Well it's time to learn to let them go
And it takes time to learn when someone's gone for good
They're not coming back like you wish they would
In the empty hours when you miss them so
Well it's time to learn to let them go
