Tighten your tie, boy
 You're something to die for
 But don't hold your breath now
 You're just killing time
 
 Tonight you can dream, boy
 Imagine a whisper
 If you can keep secrets, then I'll tell you mine
 Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to
 
 Though it brings me to tears now,
 I need you to know
 Look in my eyes, boy
 Nothing like yours now
 It seems that a lifetime is passing us by
 So open your eyes
 
 This is forever but it won't last long
 This is a memory that fades away in neverending
 In the death of all that's long been said and done before
 We'll wish that we were something more
 
 Stop wasting time, boy
 You're late all your life, boy
 They won't have the patience for someone like you
 Your memory is fading
 
 I'll love you forever
 I'll try to remember 
 I'll try to hold on
 You're standing alone, boy
 
 Waiting for dreams, boy
 Waiting for something to make them come true 
 Don't ever leave, boy
 I'll never forget you, as long as I'm here
