Written by 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, 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;
I will be waiting.....I`m trying not to show,
But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;
I will be waiting, don`t worry `bout me, I`ll be alright *
I will be waiting, don`t worry `bout me, I`ll be alright,
Here for you, here for you,
I don`t know where the years have gone.....
