[Verse 1]

Stop to watch the flowers

Stop to watch them grow

'Cause all of your minutes and hours

Will soon be gone

And one day you'll pick up your children

For the very, very last time

So open your heart and fill it

With the light

[Chorus]

Before the moment turns into nostalgia

Before the bones in our bodies grow old

Before we turn back to stars, let me hold you

Before it's gone

[Post-Chorus]

Before it's all gone

Before it's gone

Before it's all gone

Before it's gone

[Verse 2]

Time never stops, not for no one

One minute we're here then we're not

So hold on to times that are golden

Before they're gone

[Chorus]

Before the moment turns into nostalgia

Before the bones in our bodies grow old

Before we turn back to stars, let me hold you

Before it's gone

[Post-Chorus]

Before it's all gone

Before it's gone

Before it's all gone

Before it's gone

[Outro]

Another year on happy birthday

Another journey around the sun

So hold on to ones that are golden

Before they're gone
