i'm starting all over i began with the words but now they're gone if you all would sing along laid out the story but i should've known the story would go all wrong if the world would sing along i think that you know when it's time for you to go i'll stand and refrain never finished the end we were at the beginning when i began story was getting good when i heard your voice so clear say so long my friend i think that you know when it's time for you to go i'll stand and refrain although i never really knew you i'm prepared to show you that i'll take all the blame i'll stand and refrain shouldn't have held on so tight if i dare to beg i can't and now i see why i take all the blame why lie about the way i've been begging you to stay i think that you know when it's time for you to go i'll stand and refrain although i never really knew you i'm prepared to show you that i'll take all the blame i'll stand and refrain
