It started with some laughter,

It ended with a kiss

Oh, I'm a little shy and nervous...

It always feels it's like the first time with you

I'm closing a chapter...

In this book that nobody's read

It starts to go faster...

Don't turn your back on me!

Difficult, it's difficult,

It hadn't been so difficult,

Since 1997, or every day this year

Oh, difficult, it's difficult,

Baby, please just cope with me!

You've been far away for a while...

I'm closing a chapter...

In this book that's yet to be read

Riding on wings of a dream,

That rides on a dream of its own...

Say, hail! the angels, tell them that they're needed

Place them on sidewalks these cold nights...

The city lights will guide them...

Let my soul drift, away from my mind...

Here are the coldest nights, I'd wish to survive.

Let my soul drift, away from my mi-ind...

For this is the coldest night, I'd wish to survive.

[Let my soul...] Let my soul drift, away from my mind...

[Drift away...] For these are the days, I seek for the ni-ight.

[Let my soul...] Let my soul drift, away from my mi-ind...

[Drift away...] For these are the days, and these are the nights!
