It only took a minute for us to finally end it
I guess wed seen it comin for some time
And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over
But it took us all night long to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had well never have again
But theres one ember left that must have never died
cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken
And holdin on would be a waste of time
But sometimes I know Ill wonder if it was really over
cause it took us all night to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had well never have again
But theres one ember left that must have never died
cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Theres one ember left that must have never died
cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
