Jeroen van Dongen tribute

I wrote this song on Jan 8, 2015, the night that Jeroen van Dongen died (the day after Charlie Hebdo died). Goodbye brother. We will miss you. Lyrics: What does it all mean? I got a call from a friend last night – she told me that a friend just died I got a call from a friend last night – it was the day after Paris Charlie died He was hit by a car – he was almost home Where his wife and children are – now left behind and alone Today - life just seems like death without a mask All the sadness we have seen (oh woe woe) Sometimes you just wonder and you start to ask What does it all mean? What does it all mean? (I don’t know) Is there a reason why you had to go? I don’t understand what the gods do Is there an explanation that we should know? Is there a heaven we are going to? Maybe the end is not the end – without meaning, without sense Life is like a grain of sand – it’s slipping through our hands Chorus The only thing that we can do – is to remember who you were It doesn’t matter where you’re going to – only what you meant when you were there You were joking day and night – never serious it seems But there was a little boy inside – with hopes and dreams Solo We’re gonna miss you for sure. Maybe one day we’ll meet again We don’t know what’s behind that last door. Until that time, goodbye my friend Wherever you may go to - go in peace - but it’s much too soon It was good to know you - now you’re free - in the sky like a balloon (c)2015 chris t. rand
