QUEEN OF HEARTS GONE TOO SOON 
Music & Lyrics: Michael J  ASCAP

She was a shooting star, something that lit up our sky,
magical and golden with grace and style.
The people called her Queen of Hearts
blessed with a special smile, that was only... only hers...

Chorus:
Then she was gone,
then she was gone, she was gone ...
Gone too soon

She was so very young when she first caught his eye,
the romance of the century could never die... they were wrong
But how it looked so beautiful as they walked down the aisle
A modern fairy-tale, prince and princess, royal babies [William & Harry]

Chorus:
Then she was gone,
their Mummy gone, she was gone ...
Gone too soon

Royal life was very hard, she had thoughts to end her life
Did she ever get a chance to find out who she really was
A product that could sell so well, hunted all the time
Acts of infidelity, feelings of unworthiness ... we saw her cry

(Extended version only: ) 
Still the people stood in crowds, to see her beauty, to see her shine
How she touched the highest ones, how she touched the least of these
Hoping she would smile at them, just for a while...

(Celtic Flute Instrumental)

Bridge:
Does never having seen you mean I never will?
I never thought your leaving would make me feel the way it did

2nd chorus:
And we shall see...with no more tears
And we may meet...with no more fears
On the other side, by-and-by* Lady Di

The little child you held so tight, the moment that you closed your eyes
Heaven has a home for you, tender arms of eternity
>But will we continue on the loving ways that she stood for?


[ Isn't life the strangest thing, how we regret... and then we just move on ]
