I'm starting all over i began with the words but now they're gone If you all would sing along Laid out the story But i should've known the story would go all wrong If the world sing along I think that you know when it's time for you to go I'll stand and refrain Never finished the end We were at the beginning when i began Story was getting good when i heard your voice so clear say So long my friend I think that you know when it's time for you to go I'll stand and refrain Although i never really knew you i'm prepared to show you that I'll take all the blame I'll stand and refrain shouldn't have held on so tight If i dare to beg i can't and now i see why I take all the blame Why lie about the way i've been begging you to stay I think that you know when it's time for you to go I'll stand and refrain Although i never really knew you i'm prepared to show you that I'll take all the blame I'll stand and refrain
