Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The words that you said
They still ring in my head
Don't you know
[Verse 2]
We say goodbye
With a tear in our eye
Oh, where'd you go?
[Verse 3]
It's alright, you can sleep tonight
Knowing you'll always live on
In a song
[Verse 4]
Farewell to old friends
Let's raise a glass to the bitter end
Farewell to old friends
Will you be the same when we see you again?
[Verse 5]
Remember the days
When we'd laugh as you played
Who would have known?
The water would come and just take you away
Oh, where'd you go?
[Verse 6]
It's not alright
I can't sleep tonight
Knowing you should've played on
On and on
[Verse 7]
Farewell to old friends
Let's raise a glass to the bitter end
Farewell to old friends
Will you forgive me when I see you again?
[Verse 8]
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 9]
You had a good time
Drinking all of our wine
After the show
We all rode the wave
Of that crazy parade
Oh, where'd you go?
What happened to
The ones we knew?
As long as I'm the shiniest star
Oh, there you are
[Verse 10]
Farewell to old friends
Let's raise a glass to the bitter end
Farewell to old friends
We'll still be here when you come 'round again
[Verse 11]
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 12]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
