Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
All of a sudden it's gone Too late to wish a friend farewell Heard the sea in a shell Said we would meet in other worlds See how the moon, she cries Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow Gotta touch the sky Hold you head in my hand A taste, a wish, a parting sigh Takes the boat across the water Heaves a gentle sigh See how the moon, she cries Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow Gotta touch the sky All of a sudden it's gone Too late to wish a friend farewell Heard the sea in a shell Said we would meet in other worlds See how the moon, she cries Cool how the tears fill up the sky as snow Gotta touch the sky Gotta touch the sky Gotta touch the sky
