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...
