skin so cold
i knew you'd go away
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance

closer and closer, it's time to surrender
to desire that you cannot mention
don't try to breathe
don't try to run away

But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)
But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)

With a smile I watch you go
you'll never know that I didn't cry
with a smile I saw you die
you'll never know I didn't cry

closer and closer, it's time to surrender
to desire that you cannot mention
don't try to breathe
don't try to run away

But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)
But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)

No more fear
they said you were so weak
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance

closer and closer, it's time to surrender
to desire that you cannot mention
don't try to breathe
don't try to run away

But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)
But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)
But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)
But I'm reaching for the sky
Won't you please stay (gonna fly)
