Done Too Soon Lyrics
Jesus Christ, Fanny Brice,
Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart and
Genghis Khan and
On to H. G. Wells.
Ho Chi Minh, Gunga Din
Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth
And Alexander's
King and Graham Bell.
Ramar Krishna, Mama Whistler,
Patrice Lumumba and Russ Colombo,
Karl and Chico Marx,
Albert Camus.
E. A. Poe, Henri Rousseau,
Sholom Aleichem and Caryl Chessman,
Alan Freed and
Buster Keaton too
And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done
For being? Done too soon,
For being? Done too soon.
For being? Done.
Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart and
Genghis Khan and
On to H. G. Wells.
Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth
And Alexander's
King and Graham Bell.
Patrice Lumumba and Russ Colombo,
Karl and Chico Marx,
Albert Camus.
Sholom Aleichem and Caryl Chessman,
Alan Freed and
Buster Keaton too
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done
For being? Done too soon.
For being? Done.

The song pretty well speaks for itself. A list of names, some historical, others fictional. All gone now.\nAnd it’s safe to say that they left with more to do.\nWon’t we all?
