Lyrics
Please release me, let me goFor I don’t love you anymoreTo waste our lives would be a sinRelease me and let me love againI have found a new love, dearAnd I will always want her nearHer lips are warm while yours are coldRelease me, darling, let me goFor I don’t love you anymore(To waste my life would be a sin)So release me and let me love againPlease release me, can’t you seeYou’d be a fool to cling to meTo live our lives would bring us painSo release me and let me love again(Let me love, let me go)
