Brightman, a friend of Maske, approached Bocelli after she heard him singing "Con te partirò", whilst she was dining in a restaurant. Changing the title lyric of the song from "Con te partirò" (I’ll go with you) to "Time to Say Goodbye", they re-recorded it as a duet with members of the London Symphony Orchestra and sang it as a farewell for Maske. On 23 November, Maske lost the match on points, beaten by American champion Virgil Hill and retired from boxing. As the German public paid tribute to their departing hero, the arena was filled with the sound of "Time to Say Goodbye". The single was released and went straight to the top of the German charts where it stayed for fourteen weeks. With sales nearing three million copies, and a sextuple platinum award, "Time to Say Goodbye" eclipsed the previous best-selling single by more than one million copies.

O Amore che io lo so
Muovi tutto e muovi anche me
Muovi le onde e poi le porti a riva
Splendi le stelle
Preziose e belle
E io lo so
E vorrei io vorrei illuminasse anche me
Ma tu sei il centro
Sei sempre stato il centro
Ah tu sei il tempo
Il solo vero tempo che c'è
E tu ci sei lo so lo so in me lo so
Oltre la mente mia contro ogni logica ci sei
Sei tu quel vento che, rialza gli uomini
Dopo la tempesta
Ma io no
Io no non so
Però nel mio cuore ti cerco di più
Su questa terra io sento il pianto e il fumo
Dov'è l'amore se c'è mai stato amore
Ma tu ci sei lo so lo so in me lo so
Oltre la mente mia sopra ogni logica ci sei
Sei tu quel vento che, rialza gli uomini
Dopo la tempesta
Oltre la mente mia
Sopra ogni logica ci sei
Ma nei miei sogni io
Io oggi non ti sento più
Sei tu il respiro che, rialza gli uomini
Attraversa il tempo, l'amore tuo per me
Sei tu il respiro che, rialza gli uomini
Io lo so, lo so
Lo so
