To Let A Good Thing Die

(Album: To Let A Good Thing Die - 2020)

You can't ask a tree to blossom if it isn't spring
Don't leave the house at midnight
And expect the birds to sing
If you're looking for a reason, you needn't even try
Sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

You can't conjure up more money
If you've only got a dime
No use praying for your younger days
If you're running out of time
You can take a horse to water
But you can't teach fish to fly
Sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

You can't light a fire from nothing
Or clap and make snow fall
You can't summon love up in your heart
If it isn't there at all

Life isn't like the movies but it sure will make you cry
When it dawns on you it's time to say goodbye

You can't drum up the heartbeats
Of loved ones come to pass
Stop wishing for forever
'Cause nothing ever lasts

If it's keeping you from sleeping
Wipe the tear from your eye
'Cause sometimes it's time to let a good thing die
