Alexis' Song (only The Good Die Young) Lyrics - Singles - Emily Duncan

In the blink of an eye 

The sun sets and rises 

Beyond all we know 

to another horizon 

and you were so young 

at the gates of your dreams 

but they were taken away 

and ripped at the seams 

where are you now? 

do you hear as i speak 

and i fret and i worry 

about silly things 

growing up in a hurry 

one day ago you were here 

living like me 

taking things day to day 

being young wild and free 

Where are you now? 

Now you're somewhere beautiful 

and now you're some place safe 

and you're watching the ones that you love 

and you're guiding us on our way 

though your journey had just begun 

remember dear 

only the good die young 

can you see all you've touched 

with the reach of your smile 

you've made a new world 

for just a short while 

do you see all you've done 

in just a few years? 

You've made love and hope 

to help us get through the tears 

Where are you now? 

Now you're somewhere beautiful 

and now you're some place safe 

and you're watching the ones that you love 

and you're guiding us on our way 

though your journey had just begun 

remember dear 

only the good die young 

only the good die young 

i wish i could see the look on his face 

as he opens his gates to you 

and god's newest angel is beauty and grace 

with a heart that always beat true 

And though you're above here 

we'll never forget 

the girl in our classes 

being our friend 

forever young 

you'll stay in our hearts 

a memory away 

never truly apart 

until we meet again 

stay somewhere beautiful 

and you'll stay somewhere safe 

as you're watching the ones that you love 

and guide us on our way 

and though your journey had just begun 

remember my dear 

that now you're somewhere beautiful 

and now you're some place safe 

and you're watching the ones that you love 

and you're guiding us on our way 

and though your journey here had just begun 

remember Alexis, 

only the good die young
