I know where I'm supposed to be
Beside you now, but they won't let me
They're taking you away
So hear I'll lay eventually
I'll waste away and they'll come get me
To place me next to you,
Right next to you
Beautiful, letting go of all you've held onto,
Why can't I, why can't I?
Beautiful, letting go of all you know is true,
Why can't I let you go?
And on and on and what the hell
I see no good to be angry with myself
I'll toss and turn tonight.
When did I get so uncivilized?
I could not awake from sleeping
I could do just fine for most of the time
Til I see my own reflection
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
I cannot continue sleeping
I can fool myself for most of the time
Til I see my own reflection
'Cause that reminds me of you
Beautiful, letting go of all you held onto,
Why can't I, why can't I?
Beautiful, letting go of all you know is true,
Why can't I let you go?
And what else could have happened
Oh my dear, oh my love without you
And what else could have happened
So come away, come away with me love.
And I'll find the place you keep your favorite things
I'll try to make you fall in love by association
And now I know in my heart
I've never lost a thing 'til I lost you, my love, my love
Beautiful, letting go of all you held onto,
Why can't I, why can't I?
Beautiful, letting go of all you know is true,
Why can't I let you go?
I've no regrets of yesterday, though these tears are falling
I will look to you, I will still remember (God help me now)
This will linger on, your memory deeper than the oceans
