Miss you, Michael

I love the tribute song for Michael called Better on the other side. The chorus goes, This is the kind of song that makes the angels cry, I look up in the sky and I wonder why? why you had to go, I know it is better on the other side, you were chosen from the start, never going to let you go.
Second chorus goes: This is the kind of song that make the angels cry, look up in the sky and ask God, why o why do we live and let die, This is the kind of song that make the angels cry, look up in sky and ask God, why o why do we live and let, live and let die.
My prayers go out to the whole Jackson family and all his fans. We love you Michael, you will be missed, you left us too soon. You will always be our King of Pop. RIP Michael By Sharon on 27 Jun 2009
