When Richard Cory came around
We looked at him like he was crowned
A gentleman so gracious
He was quiet, understated
And he always bought the beer
Although he knew we couldn't pay
And he fluttered all the pulses
Of the girls lined in his way
ย
And his family was wealthy
And he aced each of his grades
Yeah, he made it look so easy
We all wished that we could be him
But I lost touch after high school
When he got a law degree
You might see him back for Christmas
He would always wave at me
ย
So on we worked and waited
Living from our hands to mouth
And we heard he bought a condo
But no word about a spouse
And our kids were all tucked in
And we were sleeping in our beds
When Richard one calm summer night
Put a bullet through his head
When Richard one calm summer night
Put a bullet through his head
When Richard one calm summer night
Put a bullet through his head
ย
They buried you the day it rained
Your funeral felt so strange
I don't know who else to blame
God I wish you would have stayed
ย
When Richard Cory left this world
Our lives stopped making sense at all
