We had a good run
But I knew, I knew, I knew
I knew this day would come
As bad as I want to
Ain't no way, not me, girl
I ain't gonna stop you, yeah

But if the rain stops falling, falling on you
And your heart stops breaking, breaking in two
If the light starts fading, baby don't move
Just say my name, stay right there
I'll come running for you

I'm gonna miss you
But baby, there's no way that I can go with you
So go on and chase it
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
You can almost taste it
Yeah, time is a-wastin'

But if the rain stops falling, falling on you
And your heart stops breaking, breaking in two
If the light starts fading, baby don't move
Just say my name, stay right there
I'll come running for you

It's gonna be a long night
And I might shed a tear, but I'm gonna be alright

And even though you won't be in my arms
You'll be right where you belong
So go girl, go girl, go on

But if the rain stops falling, falling on you
And your heart stops breaking, breaking in two
If the light starts fading, baby don't move
Just say my name, stay right there
I'll come running for you, yeah
