The invitation came yesterday
It took my breath away
All the memories came racing back

An endless attack
Friends forever he and I
But I held a secret

Hidden deep inside

Chorus:

And I've been holdin' on
To a love that never was
How can I mourn a dream

That didn't happen between us
And I'm the only one that knows
I've got to let him go


I never told him how I felt
I kept my feelings to myself

I was so afraid of what he'd say
I kept the truth locked away
But when I look into his eyes

I can't help but feeling
I'm losing him this time


Chorus:
And I've been holdin' on
To a love that never was

How can I mourn a dream
That didn't happen between us
And I'm the only one that knows

I've got to let him go

The preacher speaks now or forever

Our last chance to be together

Chorus:

And I'll let go
Of a love that never was
How can I mourn a dream

That didn't happen between us
And I'm the only one that knows
I've got to let him go
