John Hiatt - Let It Slip Away lyrics

Love only stays for a little while baby That's what I said cause I was scared Too scared to say what you mean to me baby Too afraid to show how much I cared Feel love well I couldn't be here So you just packed up and said goodbye I feel love but now it's too late And all I do is cry [Chorus:] 'Cause I know that your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I had your love but I let it slip away Could not have your heart any day pretty baby You could be here now and it's k**in' me I'm standing all alone in the way pretty baby In the way of love that was meant to be I know cause your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I had your love but I let it slip away Feel love well I couldn't be here So you packed it up and said goodbye I feel love but now it's too late And all I do is cry 'Cause I know that your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I know that your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I had your love but I let it slip away
