Lyrics Gone Too Soon - Trijntje Oosterhuis

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach

Born to amuse
To inspire to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
