Old friend, you're here again, it's been a while We used to hang out often way back when I thought I'd find a way to live without you But here you are, looking at my door again Not yet, if you don't mind One last song to sing A few more notes, a few more words Before I spread my wings Not yet, my silent friend These melodies still flow Just a little longer, please I'm not ready to go Remember when you first noticed A child, scared and small Now years have passed, I've grown But you're still standing tall (But you're still standing tall) Not yet, if you don't mind One last song to sing A few more notes, a few more words Before I spread my wings Not yet, my silent friend These melodies still flow Just a little longer, please I'm not ready to go So much pain, it's so hard to breathe Would your embrace bring me relief? But I'm not ready to see your face Can't greet you with a smile in this place It's selfish, I know, to ask you to wait But can you linger outside my gate? A little longer, a moment more Before I'm ready to open the door Not yet, if you don't mind One last song to sing A few more notes, a few more words Before I spread my wings Not yet, my silent friend These melodies still flow A little longer, please I'm not ready to go I'm not ready to go
