I never thought one day you'd be gone,
away forever more
No one can say, no one could explain
why you were taken
Oh, where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?
It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why
Tell me it's true, tell me there's something more
Another time for love
One day I'll know, one day I'll be there
Will you be waiting?
Oh, where you are now
Could I get there somehow?
It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why
Try to stop asking why...yeah...
Where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?
It's time to say goodbye
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why, why
Try to say my goodbye
away forever more
No one can say, no one could explain
why you were taken
Oh, where are you now?
Could I get there somehow?
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why
Another time for love
One day I'll know, one day I'll be there
Will you be waiting?
Could I get there somehow?
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why
Try to stop asking why...yeah...
Could I get there somehow?
Block out the sun and pack up the sky
Don't let my tears start to make you cry
Each time I try to say my goodbye
Try to stop asking why, why
Try to say my goodbye

This song expresses how hard it can be to say goodbye to someone, and how everything changes, seemingly for the worse, when you're without them. This person chases you and wants you back when you try to leave them, but you're trying to show them that there is nothing left to stay for.
Just a reflection on this song on a personal experience.
This song was about their mother who passed away in late 1999. Great song, and even better live in concert. Apparently there is also some connection between their mother and the lyric Its time to say goodbye. Ive heard it was either a movie or song that she had loved. Makes me wanna cry
a very sad song written to their mother. Very catchy and upbeat sounding for what the lyrics are.
Sharon has her own version of this song,as she wrote it.I prefer her voice to Andrea's,because her voice is softer and quieter.
