What a thing to see
A loved one's fading scene
While the film just carries on
The writers look away
When characters die off
But I never closed my eyes
What a strange idea
To care for someone else
Just to let them go
Maybe we were born
To walk each other home
Well I'm glad we got to meet
We're running out of time
Yet it drags along
So play another song
And say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
I think we all know
Getting old is getting old
And so is being young
Age is like a thief
Steals away our years
So I'll take mine with you
We're running out of time
Yet it drags along
So play another song
And say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
Say a slow goodbye
