A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in heaven
Do you want us to cry?

And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No one could reach them
No one but you

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you

Another tricky situation
I get to drownin' in the blues
And I find myself thinkin'
Well, what would you do?

Yes, it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation (sensation)
You found a way through (found a way through)

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
We'll remember
Forever

And now the party must be over
I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?

And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye

One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flyin' too close to the sun
Cryin' for nothing
Cryin' for no one
No one but you

    I think it would be the greatest honor to have this played at a funeral for a wonderful person. I love this song. I always feel like crying whenever I hear it, but not only because it has to do with Freddie's death. This song could be applied to other people in my life too. I hope people don't post negetive comments about this song because it is such a beautiful song.
