A hand above the water
An angel reachin' for the sky
Is it raining in Heaven?
Do you want us to cry?
And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you
Another tricky situation
I get to drowin' in the blues
And I find myself thinkin'
Well, what would you do? (Ooh)
Yes, it was such an operation (ooh)
Forever paying every due (ooh)
Hell, you made a sensation (you made a sensation)
You found a way through (found a way through)

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
We'll remember
Forever

And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?
And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye and it's

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun

Cryin' for nothing
Cryin' for no-one
No-one but you
