Lyrics Trijntje Oosterhuis

Trijntje Oosterhuis

Gone Too Soon

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
