Lyrics

As we both prepare for me to leave
You grasp my wrist
while down on bended knee
Our eyes engage
one last time, a sight to see
Either one of us
does not want me to leave

Neither one of us knows we'll meet again
As I desperately
fight and cling to hold on
We're only sure that I'll soon be leavin'
We're only sure that I will soon be gone
--------------
Chorus:
I don't know when
I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I
will next see you
I don't know when I will see you again

So long good
friend
Is this the end?
When will I ever see you again?

So long dear
friend
Is this the end?
Will I ever see you again?
--------------

We both cry
as we say goodbye
Mem'ries together
quietly scroll by
The love we share
doesn't have to die
This torch inside of me wants to stay alive

With your last call
you said it all
Between the tears
a wish for the best
To all my friends,
I'll miss you all
I don't know when I will see you next
--------------
Chorus:
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will see you again

So long good friend
Is this the end?
When will I ever see you again?

So long dear friend
Is this the end?
Will I ever see you again?
--------------

It all the same
for all young and old
Nobody knows
what the future holds
We all want warmth
but we sadly just grow cold
Just tucked away
in yet another earthly fold

We both know
that I don't wanna go
We both know
that I don't have a say
We both hope
it'll be better where/when I go
But nobody knows
until they've gone away
--------------
Chorus:
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will next see you
I don't know when I will see you again
