Can't Let You Go

(album: Bent Out Of Shape - 1983)

[Blackmore/Turner]

[Intro-Rosenthal]

Day after day I keep waking up
To find that you're slipping away
Night after night
I can't fight the emptiness inside
Nothing I can say
Now I know you're turning me away
You're wearing a disguise
You don't have to hide cause
The truth is in your eyes tonight

I don't want to live a lie
But I don't want to say goodbye
And I can't let you go even though it's over
I just can't let you go
Though your love is growing colder

One look in my eyes and you're realize
That you got my heart in your hands
Won't you let me know sometimes more
Where did we do wrong?

I don't want to fight
All I want to do is try to understand
I'm reaching out for you baby
What can I do
I've been holding on so long

I don't want to live a lie
But I don't want to say goodbye
I can't let you go
Even though it's over
I just can't let you go
I feel your love is growing colder

I don't want to live a lie
But I don't want to say goodbye
I want you by my side
And I can't let you go
Even though it's over
I just can't let you go
I feel your love is growing colder
I can't let you go even though it's over
