Joe Kelly - Let You Be Lyrics

The weeks have flown past, since we last talked
We danced upon the stage while everyone watched us float away from the floor
Away you soar from my eyes
And I've been saving the messages we send
In hopes that I'll remember everything you said you loved about
The world that we're cornered in
And I've been holding back, all the thoughts I've had, to try to not to scare you from me
I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be
I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be
Every night our time, withers away
Reading school books, reading subjects, reading of the stories of the renowned
The stories that could be one of us
The time that's left is small, you feel it's not enough to carry on
No this is not about the time, it's who we are, it's who we are
But if you really can't stay
I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be
I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be
So I'm driving down, this winding road, to the theater where you'll shine again
'Cause I miss your words, and I miss your face, and I miss your sarcastic ways of talking
Yeah I'm leaving soon, in the summertime, and I don't know when I'll be back from then
If I could speak to you, through our eyes, like the touch of your fingers; soft you now
Soft you now, soft you now, soft you now
Soft you now, soft you now, soft you now
When I see your face in the halls
I think about what's ended and what's begun, well now I see
That our leaves have been opening
So I'll take your hand in mine one last time
To keep our roots and stemmed fingers entwined, 'til summer is gone
It won't be long 'til then
Then the winds will run, through our hearts, until the earth retains this memory
I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be
I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be, I'll let you be
Soft you now, soft you now, soft you now
Soft you now, soft you now, soft you now
