[ Featuring the barrio ]
You can't hold on to a blooming rose
You must let go
And just watch it grow
Life is so precious
Precious and fleeting
Never repeating
And there's much we don't know
Some out for love
Some out for treasure
Some out for glory
But they all must let go
How much time do I have
Asked my little one
With tears in his eyes
And can you please tell me why
Everyone I love one day has to die
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Hold on to the feeling
Hold on to the love
Hold it so close
But you can't hold on
To that blooming rose
You can't hold on to a blooming rose
You must let go
And just watch it grow
Just keep on breathing
In the moment believing
The past is gone
And the future never comes
And you are my sunshine
But I know you're not mine
Your life you own
From the moment you were born
Let me hold your hand
Until you say no more
It'll break my heart
To see you go
I guess it's just the life goes
No matter what
You'll always be
My blooming rose
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Hold on to the feeling
Hold on to the love
Hold it so close
But you can't hold on
To that blooming rose
You can't hold on to a blooming rose
You must let go
And just watch it grow
You can't hold on to a blooming rose
You must let go
And just watch it grow
You can't hold on to a blooming rose
You must let go
And just watch it grow
You can't hold on to a blooming rose
You must let go
And just watch it grow
