When I talk to her, I know she doesn't hear me She seems to be a million miles away When the lights start to dim She'll be thinking of him She loves him so She can't let go It's been long enough for her to just forget him But still she sees his face in ev'ry crowd She walks out of the room When they're playing that tune That's how I know She can't let go
She can't let go, though she knows it's really over She can't let go, though she knows he's really gone And I can't compete with a rose colored memory A memory that lingers on and on
I've tried ev'rything, but know there's only waiting For the last dying embers to fade Oh, she wants to be free But when she's holding me That's when I know She can't let go I love her so But she can't let go
