Don't let it end this way

The minutes are slipping away
As we say our last goodbye
Bid the world a fond farewell
We'll share in a final embrace
When the lights begin to fade
It's a tale they had to tell

I'm wiping the tears from your face
Though i can't control myself
God have mercy on us all
The chapter has ended a story
That only just begun
First the rise and then the fall

Refrão
But don't let it end this way
Before you can go
There's something that i must say
Don't let it end this way
It's too late to cry
When winter has come to stay

I once had a book in my hand
That i didn't understand
Now i witness every page
So won't you come closer my love
Now our time has nearly come
Take a bow and leave the stage

Refrão

Now it's time to close your eyes

Refrão
