lyrics

Now I've looked in your eyes and said goodbye
But I never believed that our love would die
In the cab of a car it became weather-worn
But when we flew home I could feel it reborn
Ohio was wet with thunderstorms
The wedding was weak but the weather was warm
And there in the room of your parents' house
We spoke all those words and we spoke them out loud

And maybe the world will stop spinning now
Just long enough for me to figure out
How on this earth I can stop loving you
And let you move on instead of right through
Cause I've prayed to the sun and I've prayed to the rain
And the only response that ever came
Was "hold onto the love, let go of the pain"
But I can't say I'm sure I can do that today

And how can it be summer again?
I mean, how can the sun shine without my best friend?
How can I feel her breath on the wind?
How can I go on if we're really to end?
Cause I stare at the sky and I try to pretend
That if I let you go we can begin again

I've prayed to the sun and I've prayed to the rain
And the only response that ever came
Was "hold onto the love, let go of the pain"
But I can't say I'm sure I can do that today
I can't say I'm sure I can do that today
