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
