Gone Too Soon Lyrics

While a candle flickers in another room

She turns the lights down low

Because he's gone too soon

With her warm breath drying on his crooked spine

He walks away too slow

Because it's closing time

Another love song drifts across his tired bed

While she's back at home

With a tired head

And while he's wondering why the night just creeps

She says hello

To the man she keeps

In the place she sleeps

And all of the dreams that once were dancing into her smile

They're floating down stream with what was once coincident style

And the memory fades as he draws the shades

And he can smell perfume but she's gone too soon

And then the morning hits him like a kettle drum

And she awakes from sleep

And she bites her thumb

He's got a cup of coffee and the morning light

She's got a new born poem

That he had to write

He just had to write

She reads it twice and wonders what it's for

Walks across the room

Hides it in her drawer

And the telephone rings and starts his daily grind

But he can still survive

Because she's on his mind

Because she's on his mind

And all of the dreams that once were dancing into her smile

They're floating down stream with what was once coincident style

And the memory fades as he draws the shades

And he can smell perfume but she's gone too soon

She's gone too soon

And all of the dreams that once were dancing into her smile

They're floating down stream with what was once coincident style

And the memory fades as he draws the shades

She can smell perfume but she's gone too soon

And she's gone too soon

And she's gone too soon

She's just gone too soon
