Tell me when the time we had slipped away

Tomorrow turned to yesterday

And I don't know how

Tell me what can stop this river of tears

It's been building up for years

For this moment now



Here I stand

Arms open wide

I've held ya close

Kept ya safe

Till you could fly



Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend

And how to harness up the wind

And how to say goodbye



Tell me why

Why does following your dreams

Take you far away from me

And I knew that it would



Tell me how to fill the space you left behind

And how to laugh instead of cry

And how to say goodbye



Here I stand

Arms open wide

I've held ya close

Kept ya safe

Till you could fly



Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend

And how to harness up the wind

And how to say goodbye.
