From every side the cold winds blow
You know why and i know why
And we will see what will be
what the next year holds
Oh as every turning leaf lets go
Another minute folds
All my life i thought i knew the road ahead
And oh what strange world
It's a strange world of shadow light
Oh but isn't it funny how the time goes by
When all of the while you're wondering
How to say goodbye
Goodbye
Every day and night you're gone
I'll be missing you
But i'm gonna be brave
Waving at you, waving at you
The way you want it to be
Oh let it all come down on me
Every year, every week, every day, every memory
I'll keep my mind open
The way you want it to be
The way you want it to be
I will miss you...
Every day and night you're gone
I'll be missing you
But i'm gonna be brave
Waving at you, waving at you
The way you want it to be
Oh let it all come down on me
Every year, every week, every day, every memory
I'll keep my mind open
The way you want it to be
Oh let it all come down on me
All my life i thought i knew
I'll be waving at you
I'll be counting all the years, the days, the weeks, the memories
The way you want it to be
Every day and night
I'll be missing you
Always
