Lyrics
Too Soon
There are way too many people leaving way too soon
You turn around and another's left the room
And you didn't even think to even try
To say goodbye
You plan your life to be the way you'd like it to be
Surrounded by the people that you want to see
But then you find so many have disappeared
No longer here
Chorus
Never take for granted those close to you
You turn just for a moment and they slip on through
Like grains of sand
Fall through your hand
They'll vanish too
Verse
And when they're gone you're left with nothing but regret
You wish you'd told them how you felt about them, yet
It really is much too late
They couldn't wait
Chorus
Never take for granted those close to you
You turn just for a moment and they slip on through
Like grains of sand
Fall from your hand
They'll vanish too
Verse
You just go on hoping that they knew anyway
But doubts will still linger from day to day
You just hope that they knew you well
Enough to tell
Enough to tell
