You said that you'll never leave
And I hear kids dancing in the street
They grew young while we grew old and weak
Let them sing, let them play
We promised them they'll be us someday
And I told them, children, you can't avoid what's coming
But they sang, la, la, la

And I hear you loud and clear
Keep singing so I know you're near
And then I will always have your notes in me
You can sing, we can play
We promised we would stay that way
But then, you never sang this song again
So let's sing, la, la, la
