I Won't Let You Go
Morrison James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a little time to hold yourself
Take a little time to feel around before it's gone
You won't let go but still keep from falling down
Remember how you save me now from all of my wrongs
Yeah
And if there's love just feel it
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
Say those words
Say those words like there's nothing else
Close your eyes and you might believe
That there is some way out
Open up
Open up your heart to me now
Let it all come pouring out
There's nothing I can't take
And if there's love just feel it
And if there's life will see it
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don't have to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
And if you feel the fading of the light
And you're too weak to carry on the fight
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared
I'll be here not gone, forever holding on
If there's love just feel it
And if there's life will see it
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don't have to be alone, alone yeah
I won't let you go
(Won't let you go)
(Won't let you go)
I won't let you go
I won't let
I won't let you go
No, I won't let
I won't let you go
I won't let you go

When it's black
During tough times
Take a little time to hold yourself
Take a moment to comfort yourself
Take a little time to feel around before it's gone
Take advantage of the present moment before it passes
You won't let go but still keep from falling down
Trying to hold on against all odds
Remember how you save me now from all of my wrongs
Recalling how someone helped when things were difficult
And if there's love just feel it
Embracing love when it's present
And if there's life will see it
Finding the beauty in life
This ain't no time to be alone, alone yeah
Now is not the time to be by oneself
I won't let you go
Promise to help someone through tough times
Say those words
Expressing what's on one's mind

Having faith that solutions exist
Open up
Encouraging someone to share their feelings
Open up your heart to me now
Asking someone to be vulnerable
Let it all come pouring out
Encouraging someone to share everything
There's nothing I can't take
Being available and willing to support someone no matter what
If your sky is falling
If everything seems to be going wrong
Just take my hand and hold it
Letting someone know you are there for them
You don't have to be alone, alone yeah
Emphasizing that they have support
And if you feel the fading of the light
If hope seems to be slipping away
And you're too weak to carry on the fight
When someone is struggling to keep going
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared
When someone is feeling isolated and abandoned
I'll be here not gone, forever holding on
Assuring someone that you will always be there for them
I won't let you go
Promise to always be there for someone
No, I won't let
Promise to never give up or let go
I won't let you go
Promise to always be there for someone

The message in James' song is so powerful and ahead of its time. Depression and suicide are so prevalent now than ever before. Post pandemic there has been a 25% increase in depression and anxiety. Now James is facing the reality that this song explains. Rest in Peace Gill and much love to the two children and the rest of the family. James, you are strong and need to be there for the kids. Please reach out if you need too? A listening ear can help. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
