chris de burgh
i don't know where the time has gone
suddenly here we are alone
only a word before you go
everyone's waiting
so many friends to say goodbye
so many tears they'll have to cry
so many wings to help you fly
where you are going
and now a plane must take away
my child that life has found
and you will be up in the sky
and i'll be on the ground
sending my love with you tonight
i will be waiting
ai……
i will be waiting
here for you, here for you
i don't know where the years have gone
suddenly here, and you have grown
it was like only yesterday
when you were so young
but here is the day we had to see
always the same eternally
this is the way that it must be
now it is your world
and so a plane must take away
my child that time has found
and you will be up in the sky
and i'll be on the ground
sending my dreams with you tonight
ai……
i will be waiting
i'm trying not to show
but seeing you go
is the hardest thing that i have known
ai……
i will be waiting
ai……
i will be waiting
here for you, here for you
