When I talk to her, I know she doesn't hear me
She seems to be a million miles away
When the lights start to dim
She'll be thinking of him
She loves him so
She can't let go
It's been long enough for her to just forget him
But still she sees his face in ev'ry crowd
She walks out of the room
When they're playing that tune
That's how I know
She can't let go

She can't let go, though she knows it's really over
She can't let go, though she knows he's really gone
And I can't compete with a rose colored memory
A memory that lingers on and on

I've tried ev'rything, but know there's only waiting
For the last dying embers to fade
Oh, she wants to be free
But when she's holding me
That's when I know
She can't let go
I love her so
But she can't let go
