You're Always Going Too Soon

You're Always Going Too Soon - Matthew Jay

It's been a long time

Since we hung around together in the street

And I miss those days

When the world would wait for us

With our crowd of friends

We'd sit along the pavement near your house

'Till the sun came down

And we brought the stars out

When I heard it for the first time

I could only stand and cry

You were just a boy we were all so innocent

Oh we never thought this kind of thing

Would happen in our lives

But it broke our hearts and we won't forget no

All this time has fallen through me

Since you've been gone

And I wonder where you are

'Cos you've never let me know

Oh no no'

You're always going too soon

I'm always left on my own

It's OK I understand

Sometimes life can hold you down

I can see your face as clearly now

Today as I could then

And it doesn't fade

But the times have changed so much

I would like to tell you all

About the things that we have done

And we're doing fine but I think you know that

All this time has fallen through me since

You've been gone

And I wonder where you are

'Cos you've never let me know

Oh no no'

You're always going too soon

I'm always left on my own

It's OK I understand sometimes life can hold you down
