(Let go quickly, let go quickly)
All those stolen days disappear in the summer haze
But when my courage fails I can't fight the flow
Oh, did I ever tell you?
You had a smile to light the sky
And when I left there was no reason why
I just thought you should know
You should know that I'll never forget you
Even though we won't meet again
(You've got to)
Let go quickly (avoid the worst)
Let go quickly (before it hurts)
Before it hits me
And then I'm on my way
(Let go quickly)
And we won't meet again
Those were the golden days, strange I didn't realize (I didn't realize)
The future was big and wide, and my dreams had wings to fly
But nothing lasts forever
Can people stay together
Or do they circle like lonely hearts around a dying fire?
(You've got to)
Let go quickly (avoid the worst)
Let go quickly (before it hurts)
Before it hits me
And then I'm on my way
(Let go quickly)
And we won't meet again
(You should know)
(You've got to)
Let go quickly (avoid the worst)
Let go quickly (before it hurts)
Before it hits me
And then I'm on my way
(Let go quickly)
And we won't meet again
What does it mean when the stars go out?
(Let go quickly)
