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 too 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 (found a way through)
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too 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?
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 too close to the sun
Crying for nothing
Crying for no-one
No-one but you
