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...
