The minutes are slipping away

As we say our last good bye

Bid the world a fond farewell

We'll share in a final begin to fade

It's a tale they had to tell



I'm wiping the tears from your face

Though i can't control myself

God have mercy on us all

The chapter has ended a story

That only just begun

First the rise and then the fall



(chorus)

But don't let it end this way

Before you can go

There's something that i must say

Don't let it end this way

It's too late to cry

When winter has come to stay



I once had a book in my hand

That i didn't understand

Now i witness every page

So won't you come closer my love

Now our time has nearly come

Take a bow and leave the stage



(chorus)



Now it's time to close your eyes



(chorus)
