Only The Good Die Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saw you on a screen
An icon, a legend, a king
I heard it in a song
That's still going strong
A shooting star across the sky
You kiss the Earth and say goodbye
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Crashing into the sun
Only the good die young
But they'll always be here
I saw you in a dream
Falling apart at the seams
I heard it in your voice
That you had no choice
'Cos genius is a heavy load
That leads you down a lonely road
But love never dies
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Crashing into the sun
Only the good die young
Living inside our hearts and minds
Shining like a diamond in the sky
You take me so far away
A shooting star across the sky
You kiss the Earth and say goodbye
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Crashing into the sun
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
