This is a tribute to Susanne by one of her and my close friends.
Susanne – lyrics
She was born in Denmark
Destined for the world
Raised in New England
A simple down-home girl
So full of life
So full of hope
When the hand of fate closed
I knew so briefly
Two years, give or take
I grew to love her
Something in her way
So full of life
So full of hope
When the hand of fate closed
Where’s the justice for the innocent?
Where’s the truth that bears her name?
Where’s the justice for the innocent?
Life will never be the same
Sweet as an angel
So deep and true
Trying for someone
That someone was you
To share her life
To share her hope
When the hand of fate closed
At last we caught certainty
She had become so happy
A newborn rising sun
Faded without warning
Who stole her life
Who stole her hope
Damn the hand of fate that closed
Where’s the justice for the innocent?
Where’s the truth that bears her name?
Where’s the justice for the innocent?
We will never be the same
But your memory remains
Your memory sustains
From Denmark to the Long Island sands
In memory, always, Susanne
