| In the center of the field |
| stands the favorite player |
| The ball comes floating in They say a silent prayer for him |
| Fifty yards away |
| A minute left to go The reflex at his watch |
| Oh, oh-oh-ohh |
| He cuts into the right |
| Gets past a defender |
| A blur of blue and white |
| The moment has suspended in time |
| One man left to beat |
| He can see the goalkeeper’s eyes |
| There’s magic in his feet |
| Oh, oh-oh-ohh |
| And a single ray, of sunlight |
| Reaches down to touch, the golden boy |
| Seems to light his way, towards the net |
| In his mind, he sees the headlines |
| In the morning newspaper. |
| This’ll be a day, they won’t forget |
| Now he’s on his own |
| Completely in control of it all |
| The shot comes flying in Headed for the corner of the goal |
| Bounces off the post |
| He watches as it falls, oh-ohh |
| Everyone will say |
| «He should have passed the ball» |
| Now the crowd has gone |
| The stadium is empty |
| Several hundred times |
| He will watch the replay on TV |
| Many years from now |
| When his name’s recalled |
| Everyone will say |
| «He should have passed the ball» |
| He should have passed the ball |
