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)
