Let's Not Let It
Randy Houser Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

That sun is gonna set,
Let's not let it.
Another day is gonna end,
Let's not let it.
Well that moon is gonna look down
On you and me with that old frown
Wishin' we'd work this thing out
Right here, right now.

Let's not let something we'll probably laugh about tomorrow
Take us to that place, where so many who give up go
We could quit and we could try
Love can live and love can die if we let it
So baby let's not let it.

So we get fightin' mad,
Well, who hasn't?
And it won't be the last,
In time it happens.
Girl, we've gotta hang tough,
Let's find out what we're made of
It's gonna rain again girl
Well, so what?
That's love

Let's not let something we'll probably laugh about tomorrow
Take us to that place, where so many who give up go
We could quit and we could try
Love can live and love can die, if we let it
So baby let's not let it.
Let's not let it.

We could quit and we could try
Love can live and love can die

Let's not let something we'll probably laugh about tomorrow
Take us to that place, where so many who give up go
We could quit and we could try
Love can live and love can die, if we let it
So baby let's not let it.
Oh, let's not let it.

Girl, it's only love.
Let's not let it.
