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
And splendidly 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 flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too Soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one Night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
