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
    One by one
  Only the good die young
  They're only flying too close to the sun
  And life goes on
  Without you
    Another tricky situation, I get to drowning in the blues
  And I find myself thinking, well, what would you do?
  Yes, it was such an operation, forever paying every due
  Hell, you made a sensation (sensation)
  You found a way through (found a way through)
    One by one
  Only the good die young
  They're only flying too close to the sun
  We'll remember
  Forever
    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?
  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 saying goodbye
    One by one
  Only the good die young
  They're only flying too close to the sun
  Crying for nothing
  Crying for no-one
  No-one but you
