The Way You Want It to Be

from every side the cold winds blow
you know why
and I know why

and we will see what will be
what the next year holds
as every turning leaf lets go
another minute folds

all my life I thought I knew the road ahead
oh what a strange world (What a strange world)
it's a strange world of shadow and light
oh but isn't it funny how the time goes by
when all of the while you're wondering how to say, goodbye
goodbye

every day and night you're gone
I'll be missing you
but I'm going to be brave
waving at you, waving at you
the way you want it to be

oh let it all come down on me
every year every week every day every memory
I'll keep my mind open
the way you want it to be

I will miss you
I will miss you
I will miss you
always

every day and night you're gone
I'll be missing you

but I'm going to be brave
waving at you, waving at you
the way you want it to be

oh let it all come down on me
every year every week every day every memory
I'll keep my mind open
the way you want it to be

Oh, let it all come down on me
All my life, that you gave me
(I'll be waving at you)
I'll be counting all the years, the days, the weeks,
the memories. (The way you want it to be)

Every day and the night
I'll be missing you, always.
