It's a long life
This I do believe
I never thought we'd see the end
Maybe I was just naive
On a cold night
You can see your breath so clear
I always thought that we'd be friends
But friends can disappear
Time is moving slow
Where'd you go?
Rain turns into snow
Where'd you go?
In a dark house
I tiptoe down the stairs
Open the door and turn on the light
I hope I'll see you there
Been a long time
Since I heard you call my name
The sun comes up and I open my eyes
And the snow turns back to rain
Time is moving slow
Where'd you go?
Rain turns into snow
Where'd you go?
You were long gone
So far away from here
All I can say at the end of the day
Is goodbye to another year
Time is moving slow
Where'd you go?
Rain turns into snow
Where'd you go?
Time is moving slow
Where'd you go?
Rain turns into snow
It's a long life
But I will not despair
I open the door and turn on the light
I hope I'll see you there
