Looking back on yesterdays summer photographs
Images of you and I together
Never thought that I'd be making plans
to miss your kisses on the sands
Should have known (should have known)
But baby nothing lasts forever

It's too bad
I never dreamt that we were saying goodbye
It's so sad,
Now I realize

To have and to hold
And never to part (I thought it was the hardest thing)
To have to let go
And to take back my heart (it's harder than everything)
It's hurting me more
Than you'll ever know
To have and to have to let go
But I just gotta let it go

Thinking back on summer days
When all we did was laugh
Suddenly it seems so long ago
(where did the time go, where did the time go)
Now I can't believe that you and me
Could fade into a used to be
Just a memory (it's just a memory)
Never thought I'd have to say so

It's too bad
Love was forever now we're saying goodbye
It's so sad
Now I realize

To have and to hold
And never to part (I thought it was the hardest thing)
To have to let go
And to take back my heart (it's harder than everything)
It's hurting me more
Than you'll ever know
To have and to have to let go (but I just gotta let it go)

To have and to have to let go
It's too bad
Llove was forever now we're saying goodbye
It's so sad
Now I realize

To have and to hold
And never to part (I thought it was the hardest thing)
To have to let go
And to take back my heart (it's harder than everything)
It's hurting me more
Than you'll ever know
To have and to have to let go (but I just gotta let it go)
Than you'll ever know

To have and to have to let go (but I just gotta let it go)
Than you'll ever know
Just gotta let it go
To have and to have to let go (but I just gotta let it go)
