Done Too Soon
Jesus Christ, Fanny Brice
Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart
And Genghis Khan and on to H. G. Wells
Ho Chi Minh, Gunga Din
Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth
And Alexanders, King and Graham Bell
Ramakrishna, Mama Whistler
Patrice Lumumba and Russ Colombo
Karl and Chico Marx, Albert Camus
E. A. Poe, Henri Rousseau
Sholom Aleichem and Caryl Chessman
Alan Freed and Buster Keaton too
And each one there has one thing shared
They have sweated beneath the same sun
Looked up in wonder at the same moon
And wept when it was all done
For being done too soon
For being done too soon
Neil Diamond
success is naught but task deletion
where from there am i to run
best to live for no completion
getting there is all the fun
