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, I, I will be waiting, I, I, 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, I, I will be waiting
I’m trying not to show but seeing you go
Is the hardest thing that I have known
I, I, I will be waiting
I, I, I will be waiting here for you, here for you
I don't know where the years have gone
