Lyrics
And the lights went out from the eyes I knew, lips grew old with morning dew, but such is life when time take hold, the price of getting old.
And lines so etched upon your face the kind that speak of hard earned grace, a dignity you can't mistake in all the heartaches.
Godspeed you on your way
Godspeed you on your way
Godspeed you on your way
There beyond the stars.
And moments come and go like rain
slashed upon my window pain, remembering the early days before the winds of change.
Godspeed you on your way
Godspeed you on your way
Godspeed you on your way
There beyond the stars.
So fly away, fly away, where angels reside past the veils of time, fly
fly fly fly away, fly away....
Godspeed you on your way
Godspeed you on your way
Godspeed you on your way
There beyond the stars.
