O sweet girl
How young you were just yesterday
How small and fleeting you seemed to be
Tucked away in a little city
So much room to breathe
Then you fled on the backs of others
To places far and near
Kissing everything you could
Those you’ve touched so feared
O sweet girl how far you’ve come
Danced at every party under the sun
So soon a household name
Rolling off the tongue
Leaving us in mourning
The wake so cruel and long
O sweet girl forgive us
We really need you gone
