recorded by Jim Reeves written by Don Robertson and Lou Hersher You're free to go darling I'll break the ties that bind Somehow the dreams we planned have gone astray You're free to go darling So ease your worried mind I'll never stand in your way There's no ring or shining gold So strong that it can hold A heart that longs to be free The lips are cold darling That once said yes to me The tender glow is gone I know You're free to go repeat #2
