Gone to Soon (1993)

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

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

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

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

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon


this is such a beautiful song, originally dedicated to Ryan White, a young victim of AIDS whom MJ befriended prior to his death

soon its used to remember many people, famous or otherwise, who have gone before their time
so much so that a memorial website was named after this song and the words used inspired the creation of the site
to have him sing it for himself is so unreal

like it or not, i grew up with him thru the 80s & 90s
when he looked the best
gave us the best music
when he was at his peak
when he was truly king of pop

so sad, riches and fame cant fill that void in man
