Before I Let Go Lyrics
Whoa, whoa...ho...
You made me happy
This you can bet
You stood right beside me, yeah
And I won't forget
And I really love you
You should know
I wanna make sure I'm right, girl
Before I let go
Now we've had our good times
That's not the same
We're hurtin' each other
Girl, it's a shame
I won't be foolish, no, no
I wanna know
I wanna make sure I'm right, girl, oh
Before I let go, yeah, uh
You know I think the sun rises and shines on you
You know there's nothin', nothin', nothin' I would not do
Whoa, no
You made me happy
This you can bet
You stood right beside me, yeah
And I won't forget
And I really love you
You should know
I wanna make sure I'm right, girl
Before I let go
Now we've had our good times
That's not the same
We're hurtin' each other
Girl, it's a shame
I won't be foolish, no, no
I wanna know
I wanna make sure I'm right, girl, oh
Before I let go, yeah, uh
You know I think the sun rises and shines on you
You know there's nothin', nothin', nothin' I would not do
Whoa, no
Before I let you go
Oh...
I would never, never, never, never, never, never, never
Never let you go before I go
We were so close
I love your charm, ooh
I can’t understand it, no
Where did we go wrong
I won't be askin', girl
I've got to know
I gotta make sure I'm right
Before I let go, ha-ha
