Don't Let Go
Sarah McLachlan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
'Cause we've just met tell me that's OK
So take this feeling and make it grow
Never let it never let it go

(Don't let go) You give me something
(That I can believe in) that I can believe in
No, don't let go of this moment in time
(Don't let go) don't
(Of things that you're feeling) I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No, don't let go) no, I won't let go

Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said you're beautiful (bared, my soul)
'Cause there's something here I can't explain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain (driving rain)
You get my senses running wild
I can 't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling and make it grow
Never let it never let it go

(Don't let go) You give me something
(That I can believe in) that I can believe in
No, don't let go of this moment in time
(Don't let go) don't
(Of things that you're feeling) I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No, don't let go)

I've been waiting all my life (all my life)
To make this moment feel so right (feel so right)
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon just hold on tight

(Don't let go) You give me something
(That I can believe in) that I can believe in
No, don't let go of this moment in time
(Don't let go) don't
(Of things that you're feeling) I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No, don't let go) no, I won't let go

(Don't let go) no, I won't let go




No, don't let go
Oh, I won't let go

Overall Meaning

Sarah McLachlan's song "Don't Let Go" is a romantic ballad about a chance encounter with someone the singer feels an immediate and intense attraction to. McLachlan is overwhelmed by her feelings for this person, and expresses her desire to hold onto the moment and make it grow into something more. She asks for forgiveness for feeling this way so quickly, but she can't help it. The chorus repeats the phrase "don't let go" as a plea to her lover not to give up on this connection and to embrace their feelings fully.


Throughout the song, McLachlan uses metaphors to convey the depth of her emotions. When she says, "I feel I'm diving into driving rain," she's expressing that she's losing control and getting caught up in the intensity of the moment. Similarly, when she sings, "You get my senses running wild," she's describing the way this person makes her feel out of control with desire.


Ultimately, "Don't Let Go" is a plea to hold onto a strong emotional connection, even when it seems fleeting or too intense to handle. McLachlan's lyrics emphasize the importance of taking risks in love and trusting that emotional connections are worth pursuing.

Não Deixe Ir (Com Bryan Adams)
Não acredito que esse momento chegou
é tão incrivel que estejamos sozinhos
Há tanto para ser dito e feito
É impossivel não ser dominado

Você me perdoa por me sentir assim
POis acabamos de nos conhecer - me diga que tudo bem
Então pegue esse sentimento, faça-o crescer
Nunca deixe - Nunca deixe-o ir

Não deixe de ir a coisas que você acredita em)
Você me dá algo que eu possa acreditar em
(Não, Não deixar de ir neste momento)
Ir neste momento
(Não deixe de ir as coisas que você está sentindo)
Eu não posso explicar as coisas que eu estou sentindo
(Não, não deixe ir)
Não, eu não vou desistir

Agora você se importaria se eu despisse minha alma
Se eu avançasse dizendo que você é linda
Pois há algo aqui que não consigo explicar
Sinto-me mergulhando na tempestade

Você obtém os meus sentidos correndo wilde
Eu não posso resistir a seu sorriso doce, doce
Portanto, tome este "sentimento n fazê-lo crescer
Nunca deixe-o - nunca deixá-lo ir

(não abandone as coisas em que você acredita)
Você me da algo em que acreditar
(Não abandone esse momento com o tempo)
(Não abandone as coisas que você está sentindo)
Eu não consigo explicar as coisas que estou sentindo
(Não abandone)
Não, eu não abandonarei
Não, eu não vou desistir

Eu tenho esperado toda a minha vida
Para fazer com que este momento me sinto tão bem
A sensação de que você apenas preenche a noite
Então vamos lá - Apenas segure firme

(Não deixe de ir a coisas que você acredita em)
Você me dá algo que eu possa acreditar em
(Não, Não deixar de ir neste momento)
Ir neste momento
(Não deixe de ir as coisas que você está sentindo)
Eu não posso explicar as coisas que eu estou sentindo
(Não, não deixe ir)
Não, eu não vou desistir

Não deixe ir

Não, não ... deixar
Não, eu não vou .... deixar

This excellent song is from the soundtrack to the 2002 movie Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron. It's too bad a video wasn't made for it, I would have loved to see Bryan and Sarah singing and playing their instruments together. I don't know if they were even in the same studio when they recorded this, they can do songs so singers don't have to be. This is still one of my favorite man/woman songs ever!

@Michael1357100

Why on earth isn’t this song on spotify?

@eugenia6356

Michael1357100 I know, right?
