FC Well, you only need the light when it's burning low GAm Only miss the sun when it starts to snow FCG Only know you love her when you let her go FC Only know you've been high when you're feeling low GAm Only hate the road when you're missin' home FC Only know you love her when you let her go G And you let her go
