I decided to re-write the lyrics to Elton John's Candle in the Wind for Robin Williams. I hope you like it. 

Sing with me: 

Goodbye Funny man - though I never Knew you at all
You had me at "Nanu Nanu" The first time I heard it sound
Your energy was explosive, but you had some thing gnaw at your brain
No matter how many great jokes you told, your own smiles were hard to bring

And it seems to me you lived your life  like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who would be laughing or who would knock you in the chin

and I would have liked to known you, even though I felt I did
Your candle burned out long before - the laughter ever did

Funny was your schtick, until you showed your serious side
No one knew where you'd fit, or how you'd be classified
On that faithful Monday, when the news was called out loud
Some became displacent, others angry and thrashed out hard

And it seems to me you lived your life  like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who would be smiling, while you couldn't bear to grin

Robin Williams goodbye, though I never knew you at all
you grew up with me, and we both matured as well
Robin Williams goodbye, from a kid who watched you on the tube
who saw you as a part of me, just a part you never knew.
