1. A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in Heaven
Do you want us to cry?

And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you

R1: One by one
Only the good die young
The're only flyin' too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you...

2. Another Tricky Situation
I get drownin' in the Blues
And I find myself thinkin'
Well - what would you do?

Yes! - it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation
You found a way through - and

R2: One by one
Only the Good die young
The're only flyin' too close to the sun
We'll remember -
Forever...

3. And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?

And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye

R3: One by one
Only the Good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
Cryin' for nothing
Cryin' for no-one
No-one but you
