All the precious moments, cannot stay... It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay... But I feel something's missing, cannot say... Holding hands are daughters and sons And their faiths just falling down, down, down, down... I have wished for so long How I wish for you today We all walk the long road. Cannot stay... There's no need to say goodbye... All the friends and family All the memories going round, round, round, round I have wished for so long How I wish for you today And the wind keeps roaring And the sky keeps turning gray And the sun is set The sun will rise another day... We all walk the long road. Cannot stay... There's no need to say goodbye... All the friends and family All the memories going round, round, round, round I have wished for so long How I wish for you today How I've wished for so long How I wish for you today We all walk the long road (3x)
