The Lyrics
Gary Coleman, who played Arnold in "Different Strokes" dies of a brain hemorrage at age 42.
Goodbye to Gary C.,
Who passed prematurely
In "Diff'rent Strokes"
He pleased the folks,
But lately, it seems, he was ailin'
So long to Gary C.,
Knew much controversy
Wed a young wife,
But still knew strife,
While starring in life, he kept failin'
Arnold..fans loved him so
Sky high..lived childhood dreams
Then like many young stars,
Real life scared him, it seems
Sleep well, dear Gary C.,
At last, now you are free
No more sad times,
Or ragged climbs,
Through eternity, there's smooth sailin'
Through eternity, it's smooth sailin'
Who passed prematurely
In "Diff'rent Strokes"
He pleased the folks,
But lately, it seems, he was ailin'
So long to Gary C.,
Knew much controversy
Wed a young wife,
But still knew strife,
While starring in life, he kept failin'
Arnold..fans loved him so
Sky high..lived childhood dreams
Then like many young stars,
Real life scared him, it seems
Sleep well, dear Gary C.,
At last, now you are free
No more sad times,
Or ragged climbs,
Through eternity, there's smooth sailin'
Through eternity, it's smooth sailin'

Whatcha writin' about, Willis? (Great job!) ;D
Great write, Sir L'Air ! ! I thought he was older . . . . but I do agree that smooth sailin' is now his ship to be !
Thanks, OMR, and LCC..and thanks, Gary for all the laughs...
Great tribute to Gary C. I grew up with Different Strokes and idolized him at the time! So sad that his life is cut short, though he'd been sick for a very long time.
Gary Coleman was definitely great on Diff'rent Strokes. It's a shame he had such a troubled life afterwards. Hopefully, he's at peace now. Great tribute. 5's.
Thanks, again to Christie and Lee
It was a shame. great tribute!
Thanks, Mark..Yes...so many celebs passing on, these days
Appropriate tribute, but is he resting in peace as his funeral gets delayed because of family disagreements?
