The end must come for some good reason I've heard it said before To everything a time and season What was this season for? In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash Think of all the strangers you've encountered In cafes or subway trains Or lined up at this water fountain One drink and on your way In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash When hopes are rising like a rocket When cups are overflowing When hearts were filled like children's pockets It's then I'll hear your song In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash Our eyes can't help but disbelieve this Bad news and even though The end must come for some good reason Right now I just don't know In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash There one moment Gone in a flash
