I
Yesterday you saw my face
Today you were in another place
We used to reminisce
About past memories
II
When you took your last breath
It felt surreal, my hand on your chest
Chorus
As I left the room
I cried, cried, cried,
The long goodbye
III
Yesterday you saw my face
Today you were in another place
We used to reminisce
About past memories
IV
When you took your last breath
It felt surreal my hand in your chest
Chorus
As you left the room
I cried, cried, cried,
The long goodbye
Bridge
You live on in my life
What is left after time?
Memories and love
We were born to die
Sleep and fly peaceful dove
Outro
Time to fly, fly, fly, fly on home
