Underneath the open sky 

Beneath the stars we cry 

And I can't see your eyes 



How I wonder where you are 

Sometimes you seem so far 

Especially tonight 



Though I know you have to run 

How I want you to stay on 

And see how far we've come 



No, we cannot always wait 

To choose the perfect day 

To mean the things we say 



I can't let you go 

Somehow I think you know 

But if you have to leave 

Now's the time, when I'm still strong 

My sight still clear 



Tonight...
