over too soon

i hardly had a chance to let it sink in
before the weight was too hard to bear
i barely found all the words i needed
before you could no longer hear

our time was cut off
my world fell apart
when does this pain melt away
you were right there
but then you were gone
when God took you I slipped away

it was over too soon
my head is spinnin'
you were gone too soon
their lives were just beginnin'
you'll never give them advice
never make 'em think twice
you'll never see one be a groom
why oh why was it over too soon?

if i would have known you were fadin
i wouldn't have done things the same
if i would have known that morning
would be the last time you'd say my name

i would have stayed
right by your side
holding your hand
all through the night

it was over too soon
my head is spinnin'
you were gone too soon
their lives were just beginnin'
you'll never be on the phone
when i'm all alone
you'll never know how i miss you
why oh why was it over too soon?

if this was in His perfect plan
i can't see the whole design
how can my sights be set on love
now that you are not in mine

it was over too soon
my heart is so tired
you were gone too soon
i wasn't done being inspired
you'll never help me make it through
never show me the way
you'll never show me the way through
why oh why was it over too soon?

God, why oh why was it over too soon?
