Turn out the lights
Blow out the last candle
Let the fire die
I always hoped that you'd stay forever
Well it's not the same without you around me
But i'll have to try and carry on
Twenty-two years
Next week on sunday
It's so lonely here
Photographs still replay in my memory
The colour's wearing thin
If you've gone home it's making me wonder
Why am i still here to carry on?
Cause keeping me here
Is making me see
How much i love you
And i
Will never forget
This feeling i get
I'll carry on
This time for you
Well it's so strange to grow up without you
I see the sun go down
On all of the years that i've lived without you
Well they still talk about you
And tell me
"well it's been so long to carry on".
Cause keeping me here
Is making me see
How much i love you
And i
Will never forget
This feeling i get
I'll carry on
This time for you
So i closed my eyes to see you
And i feel you standing near
And you told me to remember
That it's love you need to wear
So i'm giving all i have
Because i know that's what i need
To carry on here
I will never forget
This feeling i get
I'll carry on
This time for you
(turn out the lights
Blow out the last candle
Let the fire die
I always hoped that you'd stay forever)
Oh, yeah, yeah
(it's not the same without you around me
But i'll have to try)
And carry on
(turn out the lights
Blow out the last candle)
Oh, yeah, yeah
(let the fire die)
I always hoped that you'd stay forever
It's not the same without you around me
(but i'll have to try)
And carry on
