hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in Heaven -
Do you want us to cry ?

And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you

One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flying to close to the sun
And life goes on -
Without you...

Another tricky situation
I get to drowning in the Blues
And I find myself thinking
Well - what would you do ?

Yes! - it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
 [bad word]  you made a sensation
(sensation)
You found a way through - and
(You found a way through)

One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flying to close to the sun
We'll remember -
Forever...

And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned ?

And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never saying goodbye...

One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flying to close to the sun
Crying for nothing
Crying for no-one
No-one but you
