Jim Colyer Band is a free-wheeling, ever-changing thing. Members come and go. The one constant is my catalog of songs. I do some of the lead vocals but employ females as I write lots of girl songs.

Story behind the song
I was infatuated with a younger woman and got burned. The final verse is slowed down.
Lyrics
I'VE GOT TO LET HER GO She came out of nowhere A major influence on my life The only woman I've cried over Since I lost my wife Reality set in But I didn't want to know Cos now I've Got To Let Her Go I remember winter nights When we were all the rage Might've had a chance If she was even half my age Come on, everybody And say "I told you so!" Cos now I've Got To Let Her Go I've Got To Let Her Go I'll never see those shining eyes again Never see her smile light up the room I'll never touch her hand But this ain't a perfect world I'll go down swinging And loving that precious girl solo She came out of nowhere A major influence on my life The only woman I've cried over Since I lost my wife Reality set in But I didn't want to know Cos now I've Got To Let Her Go It's killing me, but I've Got To Let Her Go I'm dying slow, but I've Got To Let Her Go
