A hand above the water 
An angel reaching for the sky 
Is it raining in Heaven - 
Do you want us to cry ? 

And everywhere the broken-hearted 
On every lonely avenue 
No-one could reach them 
No-one but you 

One by one 
Only the Good die young 
They're only flying to close to the sun 
And life goes on - 
Without you... 

Another tricky situation 
I get to drowning in the Blues 
And I find myself thinking 
Well - what would you do ? 

Yes! - it was such an operation 
Forever paying every due 
Hell, you made a sensation 
(sensation) 
You found a way through - and 
(You found a way through) 

One by one 
Only the Good die young 
They're only flying to close to the sun 
We'll remember - 
Forever... 

And now the party must be over 
I guess we'll never understand 
The sense of your leaving 
Was it the way it was planned ? 

And so we grace another table 
And raise our glasses one more time 
There's a face at the window 
And I ain't never, never saying goodbye... 

One by one 
Only the Good die young 
They're only flying to close to the sun 
Crying for nothing 
Crying for no-one 
No-one but you
