It’s almost time to go
It’s almost time to fly
To gather up my memories
And kiss this place goodbye
It’s almost time to leave
The only life I know
The wind is filling up the sail
It’s almost time and so
Before I go
I’ll just sit one more hour
On my rock beside the sea
I’ll just pick one more flower
From my favorite lilac tree
And I’ll just sing
One more lullaby
To the evening sun
Before I leave
This old world
To find
a new one
I’m happy but I’m sad
I’m eager but afraid
I can’t help thinking once I’ve left
I’ll wish that I had stayed
It won’t take very long
You have to understand
I won’t be coming back again
To this enchanted land
So take my hand
Can’t I just sit one more hour
On my rock beside the sea
I’ll just pick one more flower
From my favorite lilac tree
And I’ll just sing
One more lullaby
To the evening sun
Before I leave
This old world
To find a new one
A new one
