It Happened in This Town

Goodbye, little angel,
So young, so sweet.
So long, little angel,
Taken so young from the street.

Now you're gone,
All the world can feel the pain,
Like a light went out somewhere.

Goodbye, little angel.
It's so hard to understand.
What makes somebody do that?
What makes that kind of man?

Now you're gone,
And things will never be the same.
I feel your tears when it rains,
And though I try, I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes, cover our eyes, cover our eyes,
'Cause we don't wanna see this.
We hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie,
'Cause our world isn't like this.

It's too random to believe it,
How could anyone conceive it?
It's so sad, but it happened in this town.
There's no words of consolation,
There's no reasoned explanation,
Just the fact that it happened in this town.

Goodbye little angel,
So young and so sweet.
So long little angel,
Taken so young from the street

But now you're gone,
And things will never be the same.
I feel your tears when it rains.
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes, cover our eyes, cover our eyes,
'Cause we don't wanna see this.
We hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie, hope it's a lie,
'Cause our world isn't like this.

How could anybody do it?
There's no rhyme or reason to it.
It's so sad, but it happened in this town.
There's no words of consolation,
There's no reasoned explanation,
Just the fact that it happened in this town.

It really happened in this town.
It's so sad, but it happened in this town.

Goodbye, little angel,
So young, and so sweet.
So long little angel,
Taken so young from the street.
