We don’t always get the chance
For that one last glance
The world turns too fast
Today soon turns to the past
See now my dear how already
Already our time has come
We don’t always know which ones
We will miss the most
I’m glad we confessed
Before you slip through my grasp
See now my dear how already
Already our time has come
And what is time?
And what is farewell?
And what are these tears, when we’ve loved so well?
I’m thankful you’re here to help me learn it -
I believe we’ve earned this
And this is good
This is a good goodbye
With joy, strength and tenderness;
Kind words as parting gifts -
These things they make us, us
Hoo-oo
Joy, strength and tenderness;
Kind words as parting gifts
Already our time has come
We don’t always get to choose
What we keep or lose;
All I can do is to trust
In all the things that make us, us
