Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
IN THE LOVING MEMORY OF RYAN WHITE

Sadness had been
Close as my inayofuata of kin
Then happy came one siku
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's wewe
wewe made my life brand new
Lost as a little kondoo, mwana-kondoo was I
Till wewe came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I alisema a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy
Close as my inayofuata of kin
Then happy came one siku
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's wewe
wewe made my life brand new
Lost as a little kondoo, mwana-kondoo was I
Till wewe came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I alisema a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh au cry
I don't know whether to live au die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that upendo won't wait
Now I've learned that upendo needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my upendo for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh au cry
I don't know whether to live au die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that upendo won't wait
Now I've learned that upendo needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my upendo for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
