Gone Too Fast
By Stan Snow

This song is about the people we’ve lost. Family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, people we admire and/or were inspired by, etc. I lost my dad in 2018 and my mom in 2022. Each time someone passes away we grieve and lose a part of who we are, but we retain the memories and the hope that somehow we might be reunited someday.

This song was inspired by Paul Simon, Mark Knopfler, Billy Joel, the Beatles, George Martin, Todd Rundgren, Bruce Hornsby, Crosby, Stills, Nash, the Beach Boys and many others. I’m playing a Yamaha U3 upright acoustic piano, a Rickenbacker bass, a Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitar, a Rickenbacker 6 string electric, and an orchestral string section via Spitfire.

lyrics

There is a road, we all must travel
That takes you down, to memories past
The friends we had, the times we struggled
The ones we lost, were gone too fast

We all look back, with broken sorrow
Grieving loss, for those before
The love we had, can still remind us
The hearts they touched, with fire no more

And there’s a light, that keeps on shining
From up above, into the dawn
And we will find, their spirits with us.
When our time, on earth is done

Heroes gone, are not forgotten
They will move on, to heaven’s gate
We carry on, and take them with us
If we can dream, it’s not too late

And there’s a light, that keeps on shining
From up above, into the dawn
And we will find, their spirits with us.
When our time, on earth is done
