[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 C G
Children playing, night is falling,
Fmaj7 C G
Stars are winking... in the sky,
Fmaj7 C G
Supper's cooking, mama's calling,
Fmaj7 C G
But they're not ready... to say good - bye!
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 C G
While you've been sleeping, I've been walking,
Fmaj7 C G
I've been restless, but I swear I don't know why,
Fmaj7 C G
I'm not crying, it's just raining,
Fmaj7 C G
And I'm not ready... to say good - bye!

[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 C G
We are dreamers, slowly waking,
Fmaj7 C G
We are shooting stars a - cross a midnight sky,
Fmaj7 C G
We are strangers... in the making,
Fmaj7 C G
We're not ready... to say good - bye!

Fmaj7 C G
I'm not leaving, I'm just going,

Ghosts and angels, on my street now,

Yes, and there, but for the grace of God, go I,

So draw the curtain, light the lamp now,

You're not ready... to say good - bye, we're not ready!
