So many things race through my head   Of the perils, the dreams of the life you led   I've so many memories of you my friend   You're in my thoughts with every tear I cry   Only the good die young is the truth   The sorrow of those that loved you is the proof   How could you ever leave so soon   I keep asking why   I think of the good times we shared   The laughing, the joking without a care   I never knew the burdens you beared   I never had the chance to say goodbye   I really wish I knew your pain   I'd have done anything to take it away   There were so many things I wanted to say   There's so many questions, I keep asking why?         Chorus:   So many fallen, so many lost   Grips my heart like a September frost   How many more brothers must we render   Come the turning of black September         You're in my heart day and night   You were a shooting star shining bright   I never thought you'd fade away   But all good things must come to an end   I have to close the book on this tragedy   I feel like I've lost a part of me   Memories of you is all I've got left   I know one day we'll meet again   I know you're off to a better place   Soaring like an eagle with freedom and grace   The wind to your back, the world is yours   You are finally free   You are always a part of the family   I need your spirit to look over me   As the wheels of time keep on turning   I'll never lose the memories of you my friend         (Repeat Chorus)
