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
