We all knew this day was coming Still it hit us by surprise One last whistle, one last cheer Then silence filled the sky The confetti drifted slowly One side danced, both sides cried The trophy rose above us all Too soon to say goodbye One more anthem One more roar One more walk through that tunnel door Give us one more match The whole world holding its breath One more late goal One more dream we'll never forget One more save One more chance One more hero, one last dance We know it's over But it went too fast Give us one more match We watched giants stumble Saw underdogs believe Heroes born in moments No one could foresee Every sunrise brought a fixture Every sunset sang a new song Then suddenly... ...it was gone. One more corner One more cross One more underdog beating the odds Give us one more match The whole world holding its breath One more late goal One more dream we'll never forget One more save One more chance One more hero, one last dance We know it's over But it went too fast Give us one more match Three nations opened their doors Forty-eight dreams stepped inside We wore our colors We learned new names We cheered for countries And learned to love their game The world grew just a little smaller With every match our hearts grew wide And somewhere tonight A little kid is dreaming... Of the next World Cup. Give us one more match Another anthem shakes the stands One more comeback Nobody could've ever planned One more save One more chance One more hero, one last dance We'll tell these stories Till the whistle blows again We'll wait together For one more match Hey! Hey! One more match! Hey! Hey! One more match! Whoa-oh-oh... One more match! The flags come down The songs grow still The stadium sleeps But somehow never will See you in Twenty Thirty... We'll be back. Waiting for... One more match.
