why did a girl

so young

and full of life

leave

this world

x

why did the car

crash that night

why did she

leave

this world

x

I try to stop crying

but her memory stays

how did she change me

let me count the ways

x

we danced and sang and talked away

those few summer days

it wasn't that long ago

but the setting sun shines to show

the night fades to black

I can cry and remember

but I'll never get her back

x

this will forgotten

it won't just vanish in time

I'll remember you forever

wonderful teacher of mine

x

and I that there'll always be people

that I'll have to leave behind

but I want you to know

in my heart you'll always shine

wonderful teacher of mine

x

wonderful teacher of mine...
