Gone Too Soon Lyrics
Today could have been the day
That you'd blow out your candles
And let go as you close your eyes
Today could have been the day
Everybody was laughing
Instead I just sit here and cry
Who would you be?
What would you look like
When you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Would you have been president?
Or a painter, an author, or sang like your mother?
One thing is evident
I would have given all I had
Would've loved you like no other
Who would you be?
What would you look like
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Oh, not a day goes by
Oh, oh
Oh, I'm always asking why
Oh, oh
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a beautiful life we never knew
Gone too soon
You were gone too soon, yeah
Oh, oh
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
That you'd blow out your candles
And let go as you close your eyes
Today could have been the day
Everybody was laughing
Instead I just sit here and cry
What would you look like
When you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Or a painter, an author, or sang like your mother?
One thing is evident
I would have given all I had
Would've loved you like no other
What would you look like
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Oh, oh
Oh, I'm always asking why
Oh, oh
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a beautiful life we never knew
Gone too soon
You were gone too soon, yeah
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you

This song is incredible. Very emotional and one of the best on the album. It's about the loss of a child stated by Chris Daughtry himself. Very emotional even for him with the birth of his twins around the time this song was made.
Trust me. This is not a song you want to come up on your random play list while you are recovering from a miscarriage. I'm sorry Daughtry, this song is beautiful but I can't listen to it right now.
This song brought me to tears.
This is such a beautiful song, sitting here almost in tears. Think I'll have to switch over to something more cheery for a while. Brilliant song!
