I still see her
She's walking toward me
The fire in her blue eyes
It burns in my soul
She comes back to haunt me
Every morning at daybreak
All the hours in between
I can't say where I've been
Maybe it's this bottle
That's got me all messed up
Maybe it's just an angel
Watching over me

I know she's gone
Still I just can't understand
I swear I felt the touch
The touch of her hand
Now I'm back ridin' on
This downbound train
Got a ticket to the bottom...

[Chorus]
And I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go
Try as I might, to make it through the night
It's hard, and it's heavy, it's cold
I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go

Each time I see her
She's reaching out for me
She presses her sweet lips
Her sweet lips to mine
Then when I wake up
It comes back to break me
And I just can't find the courage
To leave it all behind

What I wouldn't give
To erase from my mind
The sounds of the sirens
All the flashing red lights
Now I'm back out on this corner
Standin' in the rain
Got a ticket to the bottom

[Chorus]
And I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go
Try as I might, to make it through the night
It's hard, and it's heavy, it's cold
I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go

Try as I might, to make it through the night
It's hard, and it's heavy, it's cold
And I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go
I just can't let her go
