Too Soon Gone

Last night the constellations

Watched me walk at half past twelve

With some people you done 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.
