Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off than he was before,
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
I used to cry for Tracy because he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass you every day
I used to cry for Tracy because I wanted to see him again,
But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last

Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry for love, never cry for pain
He used to say so strong unafraid to die
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
No, staring at his picture I realized
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last

I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
But all good things, they say, never last

All good things that say, never last
And love, it isn't love until it's a cry

How ironic/prophetic.

Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again

I break down pretty hard after hearing THAT^ part of the song.

Purple tears for my purple hero...almost unbearable to watch him on the news and tv.

Just gone to soon...

Thank you for all the greatness, you are in my happiest memories...

Peace 2 U Prince. I feel honored 2 have discovered UR music.

I know this is the most appropriate song but I still feel too raw

to listen to it.

Prince shaped my life as much as anyone or anything else.

R.I.P. Beautiful One

Bizarre. Prince is immortal, at least in my mind. My sympathies to P's family and friends and the entire org community.

I've cried so many times today

[Edited 4/21/16 21:04pm]

I just cannot beleive it. I am in a state of shock and I do not say that lightly

I saw him four times in Ireland and it is so hard to comprehend that I will never see him again

Like so many, I grew up with his music - now part of my life is gone

RIP Prince

Empty Room...right now. RIP! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for the music, Prince. Seen you many times, and was always up for more!

Punch a higher floor and RIP, Prince.

I am so glad Prince felt the outpour of love from fans and celebrities alike in recent years!

I am so glad I was blessed with so much great music and great memories from a wonderful entertainer.

I am certainly saddened by Prince's passing, but I am so proud of the mark he left with his music.

ICON. LEGEND. PIONEER.

Fan for life.

So did I. I literally have an outrageous headache, from all the crying. I knew I'd take it hard, when he passed. But............I really wasn't ready for this (no one was). Rest peacefully, Prince. I'll miss you terribly.

I'm so devastated right now. I feel like crying in the purple rain.

Doubts of our conviction
Follow where we go
And when the world's compassion
Ceases still I know

For your every touch I
Thank you so much
For your every kiss I...

I wish you love
I wish you heaven
I wish you heaven

If I see eleven
You can say it's seven
Still I wish you heaven

I wish you love
I wish you heaven
I wish you heaven

I met Prince in person, along with a bunch of other fans, back in 2004 on a Los Angeles sound stage. I was too nervous to make eye contact, but he had an unearthly aura about him. I knew immediately that I was in the presence of a strangely gifted individual.

I suppose we will never solve the riddle of Prince the man. Somehow I feel robbed of the chance to read the memoir that never was, but that's okay. He was an enigmatic figure who made the world of music brighter and decidedly funkier.

I never thought I would cry for Prince, but this breaks my heart.

I would like to think that he gets lube and condoms at Walgreens, but who knows. Maybe he was depressed and really did not have the flu. Either way, I still want to wake up tomorrow and think that this was all just a bad dream.

The last time I posted here was August of 2009, on the RIP Michael Jackson thread only a month after his death. The commenters were beyond unsympatheic and cruel. I asked them how they would feel if it had been Prince. I know what you are going through, and I can say is hold on. It will get better. I saw Prince live almost as much as I did Michael. I even worked on a few of Princes music videos. My first Prince concert was in West Hollywood at Flippers Roller Disco in 1980 (now replaced by a CVS Pharmacy), and I'll never forget how in awe I was when he stepped out the back door of the venue into the parking lot after putting on an incredible perfomance. Genius...long live Prince.
