Gone Too Soon

from Inside My Mind's Eye by Jim Haptonstahl

/

lyrics

Crossed my eyes and looked into the glow
Pursed my lips and gave into fantasy
Crossed the street to see where it would go
Cursed my life and gave into ecstasy
Flowing, growing, glowing moon
Going, going, gone too soon

Took your tears and made them into mine
Saw your soul deflecting the darkest night
Took your fears and put them into line
Saw your face reflecting the lunar light
Flowing, growing, glowing moon
Going, going, gone too soon

Went to sleep while dreaming of a girl
Speaking words that I could not contemplate
Went too deep while reaching for the pearl
Seeking life in moments that came too late
Flowing, growing, glowing moon
Going, going, gone too soon
