Well, I knew this day was coming Each beginning has an end But it's just too hard to face it It's so easy to pretend Smiling faces caught forever Living in a photograph While the sun is dropping lower As we hit the second half And the world moves on And the center is gone And I can't hold on So the world moves on Oh the good times I remember I didn't recognize them then Now the buildings all are falling And they can never rise again And did I ever really thank you Did you know how good you've done I sing the blues after midnight While shadows Build up one by one And the world moves on And the center is gone And I can't hold on So the world moves on
