This is the story of a young prince
Who never got to taste the sweet things
He never got to spread his wild wings
Or had a chance to fly
This is a story 'bout a heartache
The kind that makes a father's hand shake
The kind that makes a mother's heart break
Makes them question why
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
We had our time of no tomorrow
There was no pain, no sorrow
Now it feels every smile was borrowed
My body yearning for the bottle
I hope that as we're growing older
The weight gets lighter on our shoulders
Since you're gone your mother's colder
And all that I can do is hold her
Ooh, Gabriel, my angel child
This is no goodbye
'Cause when I close my eyes
I keep the dream alive
Ooh, I see you in the sky tonight
And I watch your starlight go
You never leave, so I'll never let you go
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Maybe someday we'll be there with you
Amongst the stars of red and bright blue
But until then shine on your mother
Be a guiding light for your big brother
Oh, every smile is worth the crying
And every fight is worth the fighting
My little star, you just keep on shining
Ooh, Gabriel, my angel child
This is no goodbye
'Cause when I close my eyes
I keep the dream alive
Ooh, I see you in the sky tonight
And I watch your starlight go
You never leave, so I'll never let you go
This is no goodbye
My young prince, my angel child
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
