JdB 151 Posted September 4, 2006 One of the best people on tv, and one of the champions of wildlife preservation. Rest in peace Quote[/b] ]A hand above the waterAn angel reaching for the sky Is it raining in heaven - Do you want us to cry? And everywhere the broken-hearted On every lonely avenue No-one could reach them No-one but you One by one Only the Good die young They're only flying too close to the sun And life goes on - Without you... Another Tricky Situation I get the drownin' in the Blues And I find myself thinkin' Well - what would you do? Yes! - it was such an operation Forever paying every due Hell, you made a sensation You found a way through - and One by one Only the Good die young They're only flyin' too close to the sun We'll remember - Forever... And now the party must be over I guess we'll never understand The sense of your leaving Was in the way it was planned? And so we grace another table And raise our glasses one more time There's a face at the window And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye... One by one Only the Good die young They're only flyin' too close to the sun Cryin' for nothing Cryin' for no-one No-one but you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
