You can't ask a tree to blossom

If it isn't spring

Don't leave the house at midnight

And expect the birds to sing

If you're lookin' for a reason

You needn't even try

Sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

You can't conjure up more money

If you've only got a dime

No use prayin' for your younger days

If you're running out of time

You can take a horse to water

But you can't teach fish to fly

Sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

You can't light a fire from nothing

Or clap and make snow fall

You can't summon love up in your heart

If it isn't there at all

Life isn't like the movies

But it sure will make you cry

When it dawns on you it's time to say goodbye

You can't drum up the heartbeats

Of loved ones come to pass

Stop wishing for forever

'Cause nothing ever lasts

If it's keeping you from sleeping

Wipe the tear from your eye

'Cause sometimes it's time to let a good thing die
