Time To Learn Lyrics - Tim O'brien

The hand is cold that once held mine 

I can't believe you've really left this world behind 

I can wait and I can hope, I'll get over this in time 

It takes time to learn when someone's gone for good 

They're not comin' back like you wish they would 

In the empty hours when you miss them so 

Then it's time to learn to let them go 

Your last hours, we never knew 

We never had a chance to say goodbye to you 

Words unsaid and things undone 

We'd just begun and now we'll never see them through 

It takes time to learn when someone's gone for good 

They're not comin' back like you wish they would 

In the empty hours when you miss them so 

It takes time to learn to let them go 

It takes time to learn that you're gone for good 

You're not comin' back like I wish you would 

In the empty hours when I miss you so 

Then it's time to learn to let you go 

The hand is cold that once held mine
