Let's sing a song
Full of hope, full of pain
Why don't you sing along my friend?
For it's our last refrain
Forever young, ever strong,
Ever brave
Memories like these never end
No, they don't fade away
Chorus:
So when I'm gone
Oh, when I'm gone
I'll be right there
Close to the sun
Keep holding on
Keep holding on
And I'll be right there
Close to the sun
Close to the sun (2x)
Here's to the ones
Who let shine through the rain
The ones who stood for something more
We won't forget your names
The tide is high
Say goodbye, we're setting sail
And all those midnight secrets still
We'll take them to the grave
[Chorus]
Close to the sun (2x)
[Chorus]
Close to the sun
