D5                 G5             A5           D5                      G5          A5      D5
I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,
          G5         A5           D5                                  A5     
Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting;
  D5             G5         A5         D5                      G5                  A5         D5
So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry,
               G5         A5           D5                                      A5     
So many wings to help you fly where you are going;

       D5          G5                 D5     G5          D5             G5                A5
And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,
        D5          G5        D5     G5             G5             A5
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
                   G5               A5    D5
Sending my love with you tonight;


D5 G5 x3               D5       A5 
I             will be waiting,    
D5 G5 x3               D5        A5
I              will be waiting, 
              G5   A5                    D5
here for you,        here for you;


I don't know where the years have gone,
Suddenly here, and you have grown,
It was like only yesterday when you were so young;
But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally,
This is the way that it must be, now it is your world;

And so a plane must take away my child that time has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
Sending my dreams with you tonight;

I will be waiting..... I'm trying not to show,
But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright *
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright,
Here for you, here for you,

I don't know where the years have gone.....
