When your problems seem so hard to bear When it seems like love's not there Fills you with sorrow Makes you hope that there's no tomorrow When you let the pressure rule your day All the calmness goes away It makes you hurry Weakens your faith and makes you worry Chorus Baby won't you let it go Don't hang on so tough Baby won't you let it go Life's not long enough When your troubles get the upper hand Things that we don't understand Make life harder Complicate problems and make them larger Love will give us shelter from the storm And I'll bring wood to keep us warm When days get colder Don't carry those burdens up on your shoulder
