1 It’s been a year ago my darling, since the good Lord called you to his side
Though I loved you so, and it hurt to let you go
I knew the pain you felt inside

2 It broke my heart to see you suffer, like a flower when you watch it’s petals fall
A part of me died that day with you
Cause had we not the greatest love of all

Chorus When we kissed the world would stop revolving
When we held each other tight, our hearts would beat as one
And though I know you’re up there waiting till the day we meet again
Just tell me, why do the good die young

3 The time we shared was oh so precious and the memories that I have give me
The strength to carry on
In my heart you’ll always live forever
And I swear you’re always with me though you’re gone

Chorus When we kissed the world would stop revolving
When we held each other tight, our hearts would beat as one
And though I know you’re up there waiting till the day we meet again
Just tell me, why do the good die young

Tag And though I know you’re up there waiting till the day we meet again
Just tell me, why do the good die young
Refrain Just tell me, why do the good die young
