we both watched it happen
like a slow motion movie
we couldn't change the ending
no matter how hard we tried
and I can't quite remember
just what you were saying
but I'll never forget
the tears in your eyes
I still hear your voice
but this room is empty
I can see your face
when I close my eyes
and I'm thankful that this day
Is almost over
but I'm scared to death
of facing the night
you're the last of the wild, wild horses
and the time has come to run free
but I know that you understand
when I say...
you're the best thing that's happened to me
you're the best thing that's happened to me
there's a time for learning
a time for growing
and a time when you take
that first step alone
there's no need to look back
over your shoulder
'cause I'll always be here
if you want to come home
you're the last of the wild, wild horses
and the time has come to run free
but I'll know that you'll understand
when I say...
you're the best thing that's happened to me
you're the best thing that's happened to me
like a slow motion movie
we couldn't change the ending
no matter how hard we tried
and I can't quite remember
