It Happened In This Town

Goodbye, little angel

So young, so sweet

So long, little angel

Taken so young from the street

Now you're gone

All the world can feel the pain

Like a light went out somewhere

Goodbye, little angel

It's so hard to understand

What makes somebody do that?

What makes that kind of man?

Now you're gone

And things will never be the same

I feel your tears when it rains

And though I try, I can't explain

Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes, cover our eyes, cover our eyes

'Cause we don't wanna see this

We hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie

'Cause our world isn't like this

It's too random to believe it

How could anyone conceive it?

It's so sad but it happened in this town

There's no words of consolation

There's no reasoned explanation

Just the fact that it happened in this town

Goodbye little angel

So young and so sweet

So long little angel

Taken so young from the street

But now you're gone

And things will never be the same

I feel your tears when it rains

And though I try I can't explain

Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes, cover our eyes, cover our eyes

'Cause we don't wanna see this

We hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie

'Cause our world isn't like this

How could anybody do it?

There's no rhyme or reason to it

It's so sad but it happened in this town

There's no words of consolation

There's no reasoned explanation

Just the fact that it happened in this town

It really happened in this town

It's so sad, but it happened in this town

Goodbye, little angel

So young, and so sweet

So long little angel

Taken so young from the street
