The minutes are slipping away
As we say our last good bye
Bid the world a fond farewell
Well share in a final begin to fade
Its a tale they had to tell

Im wiping the tears from your face
Though I cant 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

(chorus)
But dont let it end this way
Before you can go
Theres something that I must say
Dont let it end this way
Its too late to cry
When winter has come to stay

I once had a book in my hand
That I didnt understand
Now I witness every page
So wont you come closer my love
Now our time has nearly come
Take a bow and leave the stage

(chorus)

Now its time to close your eyes

(chorus)
