A blackened wick is what remains

The flame was blown out just recently

Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick

It wont be lit again, the day wont be quite as bright



We don't know what she may have been

All we know is what she left behind

An apartment flooded with childrens toys

Photos of good times



In the bedroom there's sheets on the windows

There's a four poster bed for a reason

On the floor There's a box on the floor full of secrets

It wont be opened



Here older boys and girls would play

All inhibitions were left behind

And as the door would close

Hr face began to shine

This was her finest hour this was her finest time



Shes gone, and its not gonna be alright not for me shes gone



But not forgotten, shes still here

In all those years she tuched so many lives

Who's gonna watch that little girl she left behind?



Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard

All the other children have gone

After waiting for hours she cant understand

Why her mother left her sad-----------------



In the darkness she sees definition

In the silence she hears someone calling

After nightmares she lies in bed screaming

Theres no reaction, theres no one listening

Theres no one now shes gone

And its nbot gonna be alright not for me shes gone
