It seems like yesterday
You took my breath away
How could the world still turn?
We're not what we thought we were
Must you be leaving so soon?
So soon, so soon
Oh, I was just falling for you
For you, for you
I'm sorry, I'm late, I was ablaze
I was just starting on hoping you'd stay
Must you be leaving so soon, soon?
The death of a century
Has sunken its teeth in me
How the hands of the clock are beating to death?
Our memory
I'm older than the man
I was when I began
What use is breathing in
If I'm nothing more than skin?
Must you be leaving so soon?
So soon, so soon
Oh, I was just falling for you
For you, for you
Now I held my tongue when we were young
Holding the horses, but jumping the gun
I must be aging now too, too
The death of a century
Has sunken its teeth in me
How the hands of the clock are beating to death?
Our memories
Must you be leaving so soon?
So soon, so soon
