So long, farewell but not goodbye I know we'll meet again Cos I've seen in your eyes the spark that lights the dreams of rocket men And you still chase that light that takes you to place you'll always know Takes you home I don't know if I will make it All I know is that the sun Keeps on shining when you're gone So I ride the wave that takes me To that time when we were young And you were always number one They say it's too late to write your name in lights across the sky That you've had your time but you'd risk it all for one last chance to fly And you still chase that light that takes you to place you'll always know Takes you home I don't know if I will make it All I know is that the sun Keeps on shining when you're gone So I ride the wave that takes me To that time when we were young And you were always number one It's a brand new light It's a glorious day It's a golden sun They'll write your name In the fire and blood When we're long gone You will always be... number one
