Part 1
A newborn baby never had their first breath.
And closed their eyes into their forever rest.
Mother, father, arm in arm.
Can't protect each other from the harm
Of losing someone to death.
Imagine all he could have been.
Imagine all his loved ones and friends.
Imagine all his hopes and dreams
And things he could have had...
Chorus
What we've got to remember is...
Only the good die young.
Only the best become
Part of the atmosphere,
Unleashing their spirits into the air.
And going on to that palace in the sky.
But we still ask ourselves, "Why?"
Part 2
Little girl, seven years old.
Was gonna be a famous dancer.
Did ballet and was wonderful... until she got cancer.
And they tried everything they could,
But still God wanted to take her away.
And on that day, a life was lost
Before the eyes of many...
Chorus
What we've got to remember is...
Only the good die young.
Only the special become
Part of you, part of me
Part of the world, part of everything
You can see.
And they go to that palace in the sky.
But we still ask ourselves, "Why?"
Part 3
Girl, seventeen, with her friends.
Driving under the influence.
A light burned out as the cars collided,
She lost all her innocence.
There in the hospital room, she laid,
Doctors weren't paying attention,
Bickering about getting paid.
And she slipped away...
And her mother was gone and her father was all that she had.
And he said, "I didn't raise her like that."
But you know... we all make mistakes.
I know it's sad.
Part 3
But only the good die young.
Only the strongand the brave become
A part of the atmosphere,
A rainbow dancing in midair.
Until they go to the beautiful palace in the sky...
So be honored, while you run your fingers through their hair.
Because God wanted them there.
And don't ask yourself, "Why?"
Because only the good die... only the good die...
Only the good die young
