Lyrics Done Too Soon (Live At The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles/1972) - Neil Diamond

Jesus christ, fanny brice,
Wolfie mozart and humphrey bogart and
Genghis khan and
On to h. g. wells.
Ho chi minh, gunga din
Henry luce and john wilkes booth
And alexander's
King and graham bell.
Ramar krishna, mama whistler,
Patrice lumumba and russ colombo,
Karl and chico marx,
Albert camus.
E. a. poe, henri rousseau,
Sholom aleichem and caryl chessman,
Alan freed and
Buster keaton too
And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done
For being? done too soon,
For being? done too soon.
For being? done.
