Words and music by brian may
A hand above the water
An angel reaching 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 flying too close to the sun
And life goes on –
Without you…
Another tricky situation
A get to drowin’ in the blues
And i find myself thinkin’
Well – what would you do?
Yes! – it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation
You found a way through – and
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…
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
