I see the door my hands are shaking
I know the hour has come to let you go
So sad to think that we are breaking
And there's just enough time
To let you knowI hope for guidance on the way you choose
I think of you in everything I do
And when you're homesick now
There was no use
It is time to go for me
I see the open door
You've got to let me goI told you to be happy
I told you to be true
I told you to be free
I gave you all my secrets
I gave you all my life
Now I want you to be free
I told you to be freeGotta move on, gotta move on,
Gotta move on, Oh Oh Oh
I want you to be freeBe aware of one way alleys
Of trails that lead
Into the darkest woods
Keep an eye on false ambitions
And be sure you always did
The best you couldAnd every time you give your heart away
You give away a little part of me
And everywhere you hear our tune play
You'll know that I'm around
Although so far away
Oh I just couldn't stay
I told you to be happy
I told you to be true
I told you to be freeI gave you all my secrets
I gave you all my life
Now I want you to be free
I told you to be freeGotta move on, Gotta move on
Gotta move on, Oh Oh Oh
I told you to be freeYou might hear
The echoes of footsteps
These days, some place we've beenAnd when the memories
Are making you sleepless
Let go, let go just let me goI told you to be happy
I told you to be true
I told you to be freeI gave you all my secrets
I gave you all my life
Now I want you to be free
I told you to be freeGotta move on, gotta move on
Gotta move on, Oh Oh Oh
I want you to be free
