written by Graham Nash
I saw you there like a fire in the sky
then all I knew of you was gone
except your music that I know will never die
going on and on
going on and on
in my life you were such a shining star
burning bright for all to hear
and in the distance is the sound of your guitar
playing loud and clear
playing loud and clear
michael, flame on
michael, bright eye
michael, shine through
michael, goodbye
