Getting close to seasons end   I heard somebody say   That it might never snow again   In England      Snow flakes in a newborn fist   Sledging on a hill   Are these things we'll never see   In England      We'll tell our children's children why   We grew so tall and reached so high   We left our footprints in the earth   And punched a hole right through the sky      We'll tell them how we changed the world   And how we tamed the sea   And seasons they'll never know   In England      So watch the old world melt away   A loss regrets could never mend   You never miss it till it's gone   So say, goodbye   Say, goodbye      We'll tell our children's children why   We grew so tall and reached so high   You never miss it till it's gone   So say, goodbye   Say, goodbye   To seasons end      So watch the old world melt away   A loss regrets could never mend   You never miss it till it's gone   So say, goodbye   Say, goodbye
