a 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
hell, 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
