God takes a life, purest to the heart
He took a girls love away from her heart
He was only 17 when his heart beat its last
I only wished he could live a bit longer
To tell his girl and family, I love you, good-bye

I was just person, told by another, of her loss
I could only feel her pain when I saw her crying to tears
God has a plan for each one of us, you, me and her, and even him.
She was told by many, her support is here,
She could only think of the last thing he told her

God takes a life, purest to the heart
He took a girls love, away from her heart
He was only 17 when his heart beat its last
I only wished he could live a bit longer
To tell his girl and family, I love you, good-bye

At the funeral home where they stared and cried
She was standing alone, dressed in black
Tears in her eyes, she couldn’t hold it in, any longer
As I watched her cry, once more again, I could only think of her
Broken hearted soul in pain, missing him, he misses her too

God takes a life, purest to the heart
He took a girls love, away from her heart
He was only 17 when his heart beat its last
I only wished he could live a bit longer
To tell his girl and family, I love you, good-bye

There is only one thing, left to do
Drink away the pain, lonely in vain
Of our single god, who took his life away from her?
She could only think only of him, day and night, crying for him.
I know that girl, she loved a guy, whose life, was taken away from a girls true love

God takes a life, purest to the heart
He took a girls love, away from her heart
He was only 17 when his heart beat its last
I only wished he could live a bit longer
To tell his girl and family, I love you, good-bye
