Like a
cometBlazing ’cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a
rainbowFading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and
sparklyAnd 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 beachGone too soon
Like a
perfect flowerThat is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to
amuse, to
inspire, to
delightHere one day
Gone one night Like a
sunset
Dying with the rising of the moonGone too soon
Gone too soon
-- Michael Jackson, "Gone Too Soon"
(from the album Dangerous)
