People speak your name
And think what a shame you gone
Still they know what you've left behind
Lives in our hearts and minds today and tomorrow

The clouds of darkness came your way
You've given us a brighter day
And your music will be
So very, very special to me

Sometimes wealth and fame
Whispered, ‽Play my gameâ€
But you, yes, you refused to

Genius touched your soul
Fortune not your gold
God's gift is what changed you

A voice like silk would weave your spell
And words of life, oh, only you tell
And your music is gonna be
Very, very special to me

In life's fleeting glance
If you have met the chance to give

All they can't and though short you stayed
Before you went away with them, now you stand

Listening to your sound of joy
I think one shot, ghetto boy
And your music will always be
So very, very special to me

Said I love you, Donny
And you're gonna always be
Very, very, very special to me

Gonna miss one shot, little ghetto boy
This is a song for you

Said I love you, Donny
And I miss you, Donny
You're gonna always be a friend to me

Miss you, Donny
Yeah, I miss you, Donny
