tell me when the time we had slipped away tomorrow turned to yesterday and i don t know how tell me what can stop this river of tears it s been building up for years for this moment now here i stand arms open wide i ve held ya close kept ya safe till you could fly tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend and how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye tell me why why does following your dreams take you far away from me and i knew that it would tell me how to fill the space you left behind and how to laugh instead of cry and how to say goodbye here i stand arms open wide i ve held ya close kept ya safe till you could fly tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend and how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye
