Released: December 1, 1993

Songwriter: Buz Kohan Larry Grossman

Producer: Michael Jackson Bruce Swedien

[Verse 1]
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

[Verse 2]
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

[Chorus]
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

[Verse 3]
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

[Verse 4]
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

[Verse 5]
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

[Chorus]
Born to amuse
To inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

[Verse 6]
Like a sunset
Dying at the rising of the moon
Gone too soon

[Outro]
Gone too soon

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
