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 too 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 You found a way through
One by one Only the good die young They're only flying 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 in the way it was planned So we grace another table And raise our gla**es 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 too close to the sun Crying for nothing, crying for no-one No one but you
