It came and went so fast I couldn't see it
It was like a flash of lightening breaking the dawn
It came and went so fast I just can't believe it
One minute here and the next one gone

They say life gives you choices
They say love won't let you forget
They say there's hope for tomorrow
They say a lot I don't get

And the world gives us people to care about
And the world shares people from above
And the world always takes them back eventually
And the world is cruel place for love

It came and went so fast I couldn't see it
It was like a flash of lightening breaking the dawn
It came and went so fast I just can't believe it
One minute here and the next one gone

I thought that I'd always have you
I thought your body would always hold life
I thought forever was reality
I thought I would get to say goodbye

I hope you're sleeping so softly
I hope you feel no more pain
I hope you knew love with every breath of me
I hope to see your warm smile again

It came and went so fast I couldn't see it
It was like a flash of lightening breaking the dawn
It came and went so fast I just can't believe it
One minute here and the next one gone

Dear one I just want to tell you
Dear one those things I just didn't say
Dear one I meant to share with you
Dear one just how much you brightened my days

Goodbye to those kindhearted lessons
Goodbye to the laughter we shared
Goodbye to an entire part of me
Goodbye, please know how much I cared.
