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 Chorus: 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 drownin’ 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 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 in 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
