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 goingAnd 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 tonightI will be waiting, I will be waiting
Here for you, here for youI 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 worldAnd 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 tonightI will be waiting, I'm trying not to show
But seeing you go is the hardest thing that I have knownI will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Here for you, here for youI don't know where the years have gone
