“You know love may sometimes make you cry,
so let the tears go,
they will flow away,
for you know love will always let you fly
— how far a heart can fly away!”

“Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone, but you have to go away before your head can figure it out.”

Sharon Creech Walk Two Moons

Alice Hoffman (1952) Novelist, young-adult writer, children's writer

“There's a long goodbye,
and it happens every day,
when a passerby
invites your eye
to come away.
Even as you smile a quick hello
you let her go,
you let the moment fly…
Too late you turn your head,
you know you've said
the Long Goodbye.”

Johnny Mercer (1909–1976) American lyricist, songwriter, singer and music professional

“Baby, let's cruise away from here.
Don't be confused, the way is clear.
And if you want it, you got it forever.
This is not a one night stand, babe, yeah.
So let the music take your mind, whoa.
Just release and you will find

You're gonna fly away, glad you're going my way.
I love it when we're cruisin' together.
The music is playing for love.
Cruisin' is made for love.
I love it when we're cruisin' together.”

Smokey Robinson (1940) American R&B singer-songwriter and record producer

You're gonna give your love to me.
I wanna love you night and day,
You know my love a-not fade away.
A-well, you know my love a-not fade away.”

Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore?
