to have and to let go

Emma Bunton

Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah
La-da-da-da-da-dah
Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah

Looking back on yesterday's faded photographs
Images of you and I together
Never thought that I'd be making plans to take my life out of your hands
I should have known (should have known), baby nothing lasts forever

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

To have and to hold and never to part
(I thought it was the hardest thing)
And to have to let go and take back my heart
(It's harder than anything)
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 yesterdays, when all we did was laugh
And 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)
And to have to let go and take back my heart (let go)
(It's harder than anything)
It's hurting me more than you'll ever know (oh-yeh, you'll ever know)
To have and to have to let go
(But I just gotta let it go)

Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah
Oh-oh baby
Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah

It's too bad, thought 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)
And to have to let go and take back my heart
(It's harder than anything)
It's hurting me more than you'll ever know (oh-yeh, 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 (to have and to have let go)
To have and to have to let go (to let go, to let go)
To have and to have to let go (it's harder than anything)
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)

Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah
To have and to have to let go
Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah
Oh yeah
Do-do, do-do, do-do, oh-yeah
Do-do, do-do
