D          G                Bm
Hey there now, where'd you go?

You left me here so unexpected.
D               G                Bm
You changed my life I hope you know
                G
'Cause now I'm lost, so unprotected.

In the blink of an eye,
Em G     D
I never got to say goodbye.

Chorus:
D                  G
Like a shooting star
                      Bm
flying across the room

so fast, so far,
                   D
you were gone too soon.

You're a part of me

and I'll never be the same here without you.
You were gone too soon.

You were always there, like a shining light
On my darkest days, you were there to guide me
Oh, I miss you now, I wish you could see
Just how much your memory, will always mean to me

In a blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye

we'll never be the same.

Shine on, shine on

Like a shooting star flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon
