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.
