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
