Written by Chris de Burgh

I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,

Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting;

So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry,

So many wings to help you fly where you are going;

And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,

And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,

Sending my love with you tonight;

I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you;

I don't know where the years have gone,

Suddenly here, and you have grown,

It was like only yesterday when you were so young;

But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally,

This is the way that it must be, now it is your world;

And so a plane must take away my child that time has found,

And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,

Sending my dreams with you tonight;

I will be waiting.....I'm trying not to show,

But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright *

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright,

Here for you, here for you,

I don't know where the years have gone.....
