many years have passed, and many are coming
brief is the light that shines so pale
in a sacred place a man is kneeling
to end an everlasting fairytale

he remembers how the time passed by
he remembers how to say goodbye

open your wings and fly
up to the darkened sky
(fly my darling, fly my darling now)
open your wings and fly
I'll leave my last goodbye
(fly my darling, fly my darling now)

he's looking back into the days
into the time she passed away
he's seeing a smile, a lovely face
he knows exactly who's to blame

he was never meant to make her cry
he was never meant to say goodbye

open your wings and fly
up to the darkened sky
(fly my darling, fly my darling now)
open your wings and fly
I'll leave my last goodbye
(fly my darling, fly my darling now)

one last prayer he says while on his knees
he's getting up, his mind is finally at ease
he turns away and leaves the flowers on the grave
he walks away with a twisted smile on his face

open your wings and fly
up to the darkened sky
(fly my darling, fly my darling now)
open your wings and fly
I'll leave my last goodbye
(fly my darling, fly my darling now)
