A hand above the water

An angel reaching for the sky

It is 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 flyin' too close to the sun

And life goes on

Without you ...

Another tricky situation

I get to drownin' in the blues

And I find myself thinkin'

Well, what would you do?

Yes, it was such an operation

Forever paying every due

Hell! You made a sensation

You found a way through

One by one

Only the good die young

They're only flyin' too 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 sayin' goodbye ...

One by one

Only the good die young

They're only flyin' too close to the sun

Cryin' for nothing

Cryin' for no-one

No-one but YOU
