The Thrill is Gone – Susan Varo – 6-25-2009

I got the news

This afternoon

When I learned

You’re gone too soon

I can not conceive it

How could this be

I had hoped it was untrue

Why you wanna trip on me

I never can

Say goodbye

Where are you, where

In the corner of the sky?

It’s unbelievable

Forever came today

Never thought I’d hear those words

Seems to push me away

Maybe tomorrow

But it’s too late to change the time

You are now only reflections

In the mirrors of my mind

It’s going to be hard

To chase these blues away

I have to think of the good times

I’ll find a way

And oh your body language

You are a dancing machine dream

Your moves are dangerous

Make all go wild and scream

You are to your mother

I’m sure her darling dear

And as mamas pearl

That’s how you got to be there

It’s so sad I can help it

You’re the best I’ve ever known

The world is lost without you

But I think now you’re not alone

You have transcended all music

From pop to soul to rock

Even though you’re gone

I am in a state of shock

The world without your presence

It’s going to seem unreal

There’s no comparison to anyone

Like the way you make me feel

I know we must think happy

Never again will you come round here

And if another you there were

Well I know I’ll be there

Everybody is going to miss you

You’re the uppermost of all time

What girl would not want to hear you say

Oh baby be mine

The one who gave to the entire world

Didn’t matter if they’re black or white

Bless his soul forever

And let it burn the eternal light
