Well, I knew this day was coming
Each beginning has an end
But it's just too hard to face it
It's so easy to pretend
Smiling faces caught forever
Living in a photograph
While the sun is dropping lower
As we hit the second half
And the world moves on
And the center is gone
And I can't hold on
So the world moves on
Oh the good times I remember
I didn't recognize them then
Now the buildings all are falling
And they can never rise again
And did I ever really thank you
Did you know how good you've done
I sing the blues after midnight
While shadows
Build up one by one
And the world moves on
And the center is gone
And I can't hold on
So the world moves on
