Close your eyes, 

And just hear me sing, 

One last long goodbye, 

One last song before you spread your wings.



There's so much left to say, 

And before this moment slips away



What a wonderful life, 

For as long as you've been at my side, 

And I want you to know, 

I loved you so



The cold night calls, 

And the tears fall like rain, 

It's so hard letting go, 

Of the one thing I'll never replace



And soon you will be gone, 

But these words, they will live on



What a wonderful life, 

For as long as you've been at my side, 

And I want you to know, 

I'll miss you so, 

And though our days come to an end, 

No, I'll never love like this again, 

What a wonderful life my friend



All that I am, 

You let me be, 

I will remember you, 

For all that you've done, 

And given to me



Love will remain, 

This I can see, 

Now and forever more

Because of you, 

Now I believe

I believe



What a wonderful life, 

For as long as you've been at my side, 

And I want you to know, 

I loved you so



What a wonderful life, 

For as long as you've been at my side, 

And I want you to know, 

I'll miss you so, 

And though our days come to an end, 

No, I'll never love like this again, 

What a wonderful life

A wonderful life

What a wonderful life

What a wonderful life



And with one last embrace

As the tears fall like rain you're gone

And with one last goodbye, 

As you fade out tonight, you're gone.
