Pascal (So Little Time)

I never wanted it to be this way, But sometimes you don't have any say; Fate takes a hand, and puts you to the test, But it's hard to understand, when you lose the very best…. I'm sorry that you never met Pascal, And never heard his laughter, and never saw his smile; And never knew the boy, wise beyond his years, And never shared his happiness, before the silent tears. But now the days go by without Pascal, And I will miss his laughter, and I will miss his smile; Remembering the boy running in the lane, Sometimes falling down, then trying to hide his pain; Now life without Pascal is not the same. His life was brief, just like a shooting star, Hoping to reach some distant point, tho' never moving far; But now my child I wonder where you are. Are you in a place where a bluebird sings? Are you playing your favourite games, and making lots of friends? Are you chasing the rainbow, that appeared after the rain? But most of all I need to know, when will I see you again? So little time my friend, so little time, Sharing life's brief moments, by chance or by design; But must we lose the ones we love, before they reach their prime? So little time my friend, so little time. So little time Pascal, so little time.
