Like a comet   Blazing 'cross the evening sky   Gone too soon      Like a rainbow   Fading in the twinkling of an eye   Gone too soon      Shining and sparkling   And splendidly bright   Here one day, gone one night      Like the loss of sunlight   On a cloudy afternoon   Gone too soon, yeah      Like a castle   Built upon a sandy beach   Gone too soon, gone too soon      Like a perfect, perfect love   Just beyond your reach   Gone too soon, yeah      Born to amuse   To admire in delight   Here one day and gone one night      Like a sunset   Dying with the rising of the moon   Gone too soon, gone too soon      Gone too soon
