Alexis' Song (only The Good Die Young)

In the blink of an eye
The sun sets and rises
Beyond all we know
to another horizon
and you were so young
at the gates of your dreams
but they were taken away
and ripped at the seams
where are you now?
do you hear as i speak
and i fret and i worry
about silly things
growing up in a hurry
one day ago you were here
living like me
taking things day to day
being young wild and free
Where are you now?

Now you're somewhere beautiful
and now you're some place safe
and you're watching the ones that you love
and you're guiding us on our way
though your journey had just begun
remember dear
only the good die young

can you see all you've touched
with the reach of your smile
you've made a new world
for just a short while
do you see all you've done
in just a few years?
You've made love and hope
to help us get through the tears
Where are you now?

Now you're somewhere beautiful
and now you're some place safe
and you're watching the ones that you love
and you're guiding us on our way
though your journey had just begun
remember dear
only the good die young
only the good die young

i wish i could see the look on his face
as he opens his gates to you
and god's newest angel is beauty and grace
with a heart that always beat true
And though you're above here
we'll never forget
the girl in our classes
being our friend
forever young
you'll stay in our hearts
a memory away
never truly apart
until we meet again

stay somewhere beautiful
and you'll stay somewhere safe
as you're watching the ones that you love
and guide us on our way
and though your journey had just begun
remember my dear

that now you're somewhere beautiful
and now you're some place safe
and you're watching the ones that you love
and you're guiding us on our way
and though your journey here had just begun
remember Alexis,
only the good die young
