I guess we'd seen it comin' for some time
 And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over
 But it took us all night long to say goodbye

 Now the flame is gone I know
 And the ashes have grown cold
 And the love we had we'll never have again
 But there's one ember left that must have never died
 'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

 Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken
 And holdin' on would be a waste of time
 But sometimes I know I'll wonder if it was really over
 'Cause it took us all night to say goodbye

 Now the flame is gone I know
 And the ashes have grown cold
 And the love we had we'll never have again
 But there's one ember left that must have never died
 'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

 There's one ember left that must have never died
 'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
