It Happened In This Town

Goodbye, little angel
So young, so sweet
So long, little angel
Taken so young from the street

Now you're gone
All the world can feel the pain
Like a light went out somewhere

Goodbye, little angel
It's so hard to understand
What makes somebody do that?
What makes that kind of man?

Now you're gone
And things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try, I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes, cover our eyes, cover our eyes
'Cause we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie
'Cause our world isn't like this

It's too random to believe it
How could anyone conceive it?
It's so sad but it happened in this town

There's no words of consolation
There's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town

Goodbye little angel
So young and so sweet
So long little angel
Taken so young from the street

But now you're gone
And things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes, cover our eyes, cover our eyes
'Cause we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie
'Cause our world isn't like this

How could anybody do it?
There's no rhyme or reason to it
It's so sad but it happened in this town

There's no words of consolation
There's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town

It really happened in this town
It's so sad, but it happened in this town

Goodbye, little angel
So young, and so sweet
So long little angel
Taken so young from the street
