Be still let your hand melt into mine. The part of me that breathes when you breathe is losing time. I can't find the words to say I'll never say goodbye. I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go. I'm not letting go. My tears like rain fill up the sky. Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go. I saw the host of silent angels waiting on their own. Knowing that all the promises of faith come alive when you see home. Hold still and let your hand melt into mine. I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go. I'm not letting go. My tears like rain fill up the sky. Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go. Shed your heart and your breath and your pain and fly. Now you're alive. I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go. I'm not letting go. Tears like rain fill up the sky. Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go. I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.
