So many things race through my head
of the perils, the dreams
of the life you led
I've so many memories of you, my friend:
you're in my thoughts with every tear I cry
Only the good die young is the truth
the sorrow of those that loved you
is the proof
How could you ever leave so soon?
I keep asking why
I think of the good times we shared:
the laughing, the joking without a care
I never knew the burdens you beared
I never had the chance to say goodbye
I really wish that I knew your pain
I'd done anything to take it away
There were so many things
that I wanted to say
There's so many questions;
I keep asking why
[chorus]
So many fallen, so many lost
Grips my heart like a September frost
How many more brothers must we render
come the turning of a Black September?
You're in my heart, day and night
You were a shooting star shining bright
I never thought you'd fade away
but all good things must come to an end
I have to close the book on this tragedy
I feel like I've lost a part of me
Memories of you is all I've got left
I know one day we'll meet again
I know you're off to a better place
soaring like an eagle
with freedom and grace
The wind to your back, the world is yours:
you are finally free
You are always a part of the family
I need your spirit to look over me
As the wheels of time keep on turning
Nothing will fade the memories
of you, my friend
[repeat chorus]
