Where the Heart Is movie - Let It Slip Away lyrics

rate me

Song by John Hiatt<br /><br>

Love only stays for a little while baby <br>

That's what I said cause I was scared<br>

Too scared to say what you mean to me baby<br>

Too afraid to show how much I cared <br>

<br>

Feel love well I couldn't be here<br>

So you just packed up and said goodbye<br>

I feel love but now it's too late<br>

And all I do is cry <br>

<br>

[CHORUS:]<br>

Cause I know that your memory lingers<br>

I think about you night and day<br>

I know from the tips of my fingers<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away <br>

<br>

Could not have your heart any day pretty baby<br>

You could be here now and it's killin' me<br>

I'm standing all alone in the way pretty baby<br>

In the way of love that was meant to be <br>

<br>

I know cause your memory lingers<br>

I think about you night and day<br>

I know from the tips of my fingers<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away <br>

<br>

Feel love well I couldn't be here<br>

So you packed it up and said goodbye<br>

I feel love but now it's too late<br>

And all I do is cry <br>

<br>

[CHORUS TWICE]<br>

CauseI know that your memory lingers<br>

I think about you night and day<br>

I know from the tips of my fingers<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away<br>

I know that your memory lingers<br>

I think about you night and day<br>

I know from the tips of my fingers<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away<br>

I had your love but I let it slip away<br>

<br>
