I wrote this song after the death of my son, Noel Patrik Cornelius, who died in 2005. R.I.P....

lyrics

(Chorus)
Too short was the time you were here
Life is too sublime to live in fear
But then on a dime you disappeared, oh yeah
Too short was the time you were here

It doesn’t seem real that you are gone
I half expect you to call on the phone
No lifetime deserves to end this way
An ultimate price no one should have to pay, cause

(Chorus)

Somehow you fell into a deep black hole
A slave to addiction and then death took its toll
Now that it’s over the war can cease
And every hour I pray you rest in peace, cause

(Chorus)

Twenty three years old seems too young to die
I remember your life with every tear I cry
But then again, I don’t know if you could every really live
To have freed you from that pain, oh what I wouldn’t give, cause

(Chorus) 2X
