To Let a Good Thing Die

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 looking 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 praying 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
