Letting Go
Paul McCartney & Wings

Ah, she tastes like wine
Such a human being so divine
Oh she feels like sun
Mother nature look at what you've done

Oh I feel like letting go
Oh I feel like letting go

Ah, she looks like snow
I want to put her in a Broadway show
Ah she'll dance and dine
Like a lucifer she'll always shine

Oh I feel like letting go
Oh I feel like letting go

Oh I feel like letting go

Ah, she sings it so
I want to put her on the radio
One day and there you are
Ladies and Gentleman -
A brand new Star

Oh I feel like letting go
Oh I feel like letting go
