I know the carefree days are over This is the end of the ride But I won't come crying on your shoulder I just haven't got the time But this ole world still makes me smile Every once in a while And there's no point in fighting windmills Its one step forward three steps back And let's not push stones onto steep hills Just keep on running, don't look back But this ole world still makes me smile Every once in a while So goodbye to the old days, goodbye to this young age Goodbye to everything I know And let's pray for the lost ones, those friends that we knew once This is the song of letting go Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back But this ole world still makes me smile Every once in a while So goodbye, goodbye Goodbye to everything I know And let's pray for the lost ones, those friends that we knew once This is the song of letting go Goodbye to the old days, goodbye to that young age Goodbye to everything we know And close your eyes, start the countdown, This is the final meltdown This is the song of letting go Oh This is the song of letting go Oh This is the song of letting go
