lyrics

Up there burns a sun
I see your light shining through the darkest clouds
And in the naked sky your smile is the same
Like the wise and tame
I had to put my trust in the flow of things
Never accepting that the moment came
And then it feels so strange
that I had to let you go

It's just a goodbye
but not forever
one day I'll join you on the other side
And since the day you died
another star shines bright
it's just a goodbye
but not forever
one day I'll join you on the other side
and on the day I'll die
I want to be by your side

With the pace of time
I'm sure you'll spread your love
calling from above
The colours and the sounds are willing to change
They fill up the space
Even if it's full of emptyness
There's no one to blame but I am in pain
It feels so strange
that I had to let you go

It's just a goodbye
but not forever
one day I'll join you on the other side
And since the day you died
another star shines bright
it's just a goodbye
but not forever
one day I'll join you on the other side
and on the day I'll die
I want to be by your side

Every day minutes fly like seconds and it's
No wonder if they're turning my present into past
But much too soon the moment came you're still in my mind
I know you lost the battle against the strains of time
But just to - in my mind – revive and stay together by my side
to protect me
Life in your body burned down like a flame
But I can't explain what happened still I believe that you're the same
Wherever your soul might be travelling though the galaxy
I hope that you'll spread the love to the world
The threads aren't physical
They're more than chemical

It's just a goodbye
but not forever
one day I'll join you on the other side
And since the day you died
another star shines bright
it's just a goodbye
but not forever
one day I'll join you on the other side
and on the day I'll die
I want to be by your side

I know that you are here with me
I feel it in my heart
but I had to let you go, oh, oh, oh
I know in the deepest of my soul
Oh, oh, oh, why, why did I have to let you go?
Why?
