Gone Too Soon

All of my sunshine
has turned the deepest shade of grey
Might not be a cloud in the sky
but everything in my eyes looks like rain
And how can they call Him the Good Lord when He,
when He took you away from me
With all of your love drifting somewhere above
I’m drowning in a sea of my misery
So I cling to the debris of old memories
and somehow keep gasping for air
If I hold my head high and look to the sky
its only because I’m trying to find you up there
somewhere, to pull me out of this despair…

So I go through the motions
and make an effort to try not to drown
When I pretend you’re still beside me my friend
That thought will keep me warmer than the ground
And how can they call Him the Good Lord when he,
when He killed the best part of me
Well if I only survive to keep your memory alive,
at least its a reason for me to keep living
And I’ll carry your flame on forever
and use it to burn your name into the stars
If I hold my head high and look to the sky
its only because I’m longing to be where you are
So far away from the pain of this broken heart…

So would you take me with you up to Heaven
so I could be right beside you my friend
‘Cause you’re gone too soon,
you’re gone far too soon
and I only want to be with you again
And your fire, your fire, it still burns inside of me
But this rain, this rain is falling down
Like the tears of all the angels, it falls
And I’m trying so hard,
I’m trying so hard not to drown
I’ll just float away like the moon and be gone
Gone too soon Just like you Just like you
You’re gone too soon, no…

No, I will carry your flame on forever
and use it to burn your beautiful name into the stars
And I’ll hold my head high and look to the sky
and I’ll find you every time like a fire in the night
‘Cause you’re gone too soon but you’ll always be a light
shining in my darkness, remembering your smile
and all the good times…
the beautiful life…
Oh you…
You’re gone too soon…
