Let Love In - Nashville Cast, Rhiannon Giddens

When I was a young girl

I heard the old folks say

You can’t love just anyone

Lock your heart away

So I learned to keep my heart

Way up on the shelf

Now I know you can’t love anyone

Until you love yourself

Let love in, let love in

Let it take you to a place you’ve never been

Let love in, let love in

You know you might never get this chance again

Now I am an older girl

And wiser, I believe

I don’t lock my heart away

I wear it on my sleeve

When you’re brave and true in love

You gotta learn to say goodbye

You can’t live in the memory

Gotta spread your wings and fly

Let love go, let love go

Let it light a path through truth, through the unknown

Let love go, let love go

Set it free so it can find its way back home

Now I know who I wanna be

Now I know my heart

Now I know holding on too tight’s tearing me apart

Letting go of yesterday

Letting in that light

Searching for a brand new wave and everything’s alright

Let it in

Let love in, let love in

Let it take you to a place you’ve never been

Let love go, let love go

Set it free so it can find its way back home
