A Light That Shined Too Soon
by Robert Ramage
Verse 1
She grew from laughter into grace
A gentle heart, a shining face
Every smile a gift she gave
A kindness this world couldn’t save
Verse 2
So much love inside her soul
So many dreams she never told
The world was better just knowing her name
A borrowed flame, a perfect flame
Chorus
A light that shined brighter than the sun
And faded out too soon
Too beautiful to be undone
Too pure to leave us so soon
Though heaven called her far too fast
Her love is here, her love will last
Verse 3
We don’t understand the reason why
Why angels fall before they fly
But every tear and every prayer
Still feels her presence everywhere
Bridge
She never got the chance to run
Through all the years, through all the love
But in our hearts she still remains
A shining star, a gentle flame
Final Chorus (soft, then lift)
A light that shined brighter than the sun
Still glowing in the dark
Though her time here was never done
She left her mark on every heart
Gone too soon, but never gone
Her light lives on… her light lives on
Outro
(Piano fades, single guitar note)
A beautiful soul… forever loved.
