The Brightest Star/Split Second by Peter Maxwell [Shelby’s uncle] The call it came, but not believed It can't be true, we are deceived This can't be right, it must be wrong A split second and you were gone. My heart it hurts, and feels so broke Fates having a laugh, a cruel sick joke My head it hurts, and feels such pain Will my broken heart, ever mend again. Is fate so cruel, and so unkind? That we're the ones, left here behind I stop and think, and all the while I see your face, your beautiful smile. The call it came, but not believed It can't be true, we are deceived This can't be right, it must be wrong A split second, and you were gone. The time will come, to say goodbye But all I know, will sit and cry For heaven gained, another star The brightest one, it's seen so far. We all will weep, and all will moan That we're the ones, left here alone I cannot think, my mind is numb I cannot speak, I am struck dumb. The call it came, but not believed It can't be true, we are deceived This can't be right, it must be wrong A split second, and you were gone. You were too young, or so it seems To loose your hopes, to loose your dreams But fate had plans, from a higher power And stole away, a beautiful flower. I'm sure we'll laugh, I'm sure we'll cry I'm sure we'll sit, and question why But heaven's, gained another star The brightest one, of all by far.
