All my father's legacy is handed down on angel wings
A bittersweet melody is now mine to sing
Every precious memory
And broken-hearted tragedy
Will walk into eternity
But not fade away
If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow anymore
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return
How do years so far away
So suddenly evaporate?
Fourtune smiles with teeth of jade
And the greediest eyesHow I long for that embrace
The strongest arms and troubled face
Smoky air and awkward grace
That made me feel safe
If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow anymore
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return
Who was it that said to me
That heroes will live forever?
And where are they now
Now that I'm standing alone?
If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow anymore
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return
A bittersweet melody is now mine to sing
Every precious memory
And broken-hearted tragedy
Will walk into eternity
But not fade away
If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow anymore
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return
How do years so far away
So suddenly evaporate?
Fourtune smiles with teeth of jade
And the greediest eyesHow I long for that embrace
The strongest arms and troubled face
Smoky air and awkward grace
That made me feel safe
If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow anymore
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return
Who was it that said to me
That heroes will live forever?
And where are they now
Now that I'm standing alone?
If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow anymore
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return
