I Don't Wanna Let Go

© Jim Rushing


Road signs all show there's no cause for leaving
And the weeping wind knows that I'm broken and beaten
For my love has just hurt me like nothing I've known
How can I step aside from the feelings inside when I don't wanna let go

Let go when I know love will claim me again
Forget how I love her and my spirit would mend
But her memories like a fireside that warms me when cold
While it's burning I don't wanna let go

Sweet bitter dreams gather gently inside me
As I roll with the earth finding nothing to hide me
For my love was my shelter my shore and my home
How can time repay what I gave away when I don't wanna let go

Let go when I know love will claim me again
Forget how I love her and my spirit would mend
But her memories like a fireside that warms me when cold
While it's burning I don't wanna let go
While it's burning I don't wanna let go
