It only took a minute for us to finally end it
  I guess we'd 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 we'll never have again
  But there's 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 I'll 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 we'll never have again
  But there's one ember left that must have never died
  'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
  
  There's one ember left that must have never died
  'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
