They say when you gain a lover |
|
You begin to lose a friend |
|
That the end of the beginning's |
|
The beginning of the end |
|
They say the moment that you're born |
|
Is when you start to die |
|
And the first time that we said hello |
|
Began our last goodbye |
|
We know each summer's coming |
|
Means the winter's waiting there |
|
And gold would not be precious |
|
If we all had gold to spare |
|
You only know how low is low |
|
The first time that you fly |
|
And the first time that we said hello |
|
Began our last goodbye |
|
If I could live forever |
|
It is certain I could never |
|
Know another single second so sublime |
|
That moment of our meeting |
|
When our hands first touched in greeting |
|
How I wanted to hold back the hands of time |
|
When they begin the overture |
|
They start to end the show |
|
When you said "I'll never leave you," |
|
Then I knew that you would go |
|
The sound of all our laughter |
|
Is now echoed in a sigh |
|
And the first time that we said hello |
|
Began our last goodbye |
|
If I could live forever |
|
It is certain I could never know |
|
Another single second so sublime |
|
That moment of our meeting |
|
When our hands first touched in greeting |
|
How I wanted to hold back the hands of time (hands of time) |
|
When they begin the overture |
|
They start to end the show |
|
When you said "I'll never leave you," |
|
Then I knew that you would go |
|
The sound of all our laughter |
|
Is now echoed in a sigh |
|
And the first time that we said hello |
|
Began our last goodbye |
|
And the first time that we said hello |
|
Began our last goodbye |
