-OVERVIEW-

   This is a FAQ regarding the lyrics to the Ending Theme 
of Metal Gear Solid 2: The Sons of Liberty, entitled "Can't 
Say Goodbye to Yesterday". 

  If you're really into game music like I am, then you 
probably paid close attention to the great music found in 
the Metal Gear Series.  Even since the days of the NES 
(man, I feel old), Konami always has had excellent, high-
quality music in  MG.  Now with the PS2, the option for 
Dolby Digital Surround 5.1 and the power of DVD, game 
developers have the opportunity to completely immerse 
gamers in excellent sound and music to complement the 
incredible graphics.


-FAQS- (this section may grow if needed)

 Q:  Where can I find the Metal Gear Solid 2 Soundtrack?
	
 A:  I have found that GameMusic (http://www.gamemusic.com) 
is an excellent source of soundtracks.  The Metal Gear 
Solid 2 soundtrack is out of stock (at time of writing), 
however. :-(	
  
 Q:  Why did you decide to create this FAQ, and how did you 
get the lyrics?

 A:  I decided to create this FAQ to attempt to repay 
GameFAQs for the many years of help I've had.  This is my 
first FAQ, and if this one is successful, I might do more.  
I obtained the lyrics by basically listening to the song 
five or six times in the ending (I now 0wN Solidus in about 
thirty seconds, hehe), and there is definitely room for 
inaccuracies.  Contact me if you find any typos or mistakes 
(sometimes that girl's voice was hard to understand, 
particularly near the end).

Song:  "Can't Say Goodbye To Yesterday"

--------------------------------
**** NOTE-PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES ****

I stare at the stars, and the sky up above

And think what am I made of?

Am I full of sorrow, am I hurt and pain?

Or am I filled with Love?

I walk by myself on the streets below

And ask every child I know--

Do you think tomorrow will bring sun or rain?

Which one of these will show?

I Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday, my friend

I keep holding on 'till the end.

Out of the darkness, there is no other way

Than the light leading to yesterday.

It's there that I'll find inner peace, not war

And dreams that I let slip away.

I will find the gentleness; a loving kind

Way back in yesterday.

Why can't each of us in the world ever see

The best things in life are free?

The sounds of laughter; a warm heart; a smile;

A kiss from you to me...

I fall to my knees,

I cry and I cry,

Love, do not pass me by!

And wherever I am,

Please stay a while; make time refuse to fly.

I Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday, my friend,

'cause I know how good it has been..

Peace and forever,

Here I stand, call my name,

Bring the old and the new yesterday!

It's there that I'll find inner peace not war,

And dreams that I let slip away

I await the joyfulness; I'm looking for

Way back in Yesterday......
