Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone Too Soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny and sparkly
Spendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone Too Soon
Like a perfect love
That is just beyond your reach
Gone Too Soon
Born to amuse,
To admire
And delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the sunset,
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon
