Too Soon Gone

Last night, the constellations

Watched me walk at half past twelve

With some people you don't see

The whole picture all at once

Like you fill in the gaps

In the stars all by yourself



And who has time in this world of worries?

Drives you crazy, makes you mad

When you make the mistake

Just a little too late

You're missing something now

That you never knew you had



So, how do I answer

These blues you say I've got?

Too soon gone, too soon gone

Time makes me pay for

These memories I've bought

Too soon gone, too soon gone



No one lives forever

Who would want to?

But you're too soon gone, too soon gone

Too soon gone, too soon gone



Pretty soon, now all this ice will melt

And buds will get ready to break

But every leaf that grows

In the language that it knows

Says that winter will return now

And these trees are gonna shake



So how do I answer

These blues you say I've got?

Too soon gone, too soon gone

Time sweeps me forward

As memory is caught

Too soon gone, too soon gone

Too soon gone, too soon gone
