The way you want it to be

from every side the cold winds blow

you know why

and I know why



and we will see what will be

what the next year holds

as every turning leaf lets go

another minute folds



all my life I thought I knew the road ahead

oh what a strange world

it's a strange world of shadow and light

oh but isn't it funny how the time goes by

when all of the while you're wondering how to say goodbye

goodbye



every day and night you're gone

I'll be missing you

but I'm going to be brave

the way you want it to be



oh let it all come down on me

every year every week every day eveyr memory

I'll keep my mind open

the way you want it to be



I will miss you

I will miss you

I will miss you

always
