John Lennon, 1940 – 1980
Dear John
Dear John, it’s been how many years since I let my hair grow long?
And so many years since my first Beatles’ song,
It just doesn’t seem that it could be that long,
But now you’re gone – dear John.
Dear John, we all know you didn’t deserve to die
But still you’ve gone to join Lucy in the sky,
And the questions we ask will forever start with “why?”
And now we cry – dear John.
Light a candle in the dark
Keep it burning in your heart
Light a candle in your heart
For John.
Dear John, we’ll try to imagine the world that you sought,
And we’ll remember the cause of peace for which you fought,
Oh to capture the feelings of love that you caught,
And what you got – dear John.
Light a candle in the dark
Keep it burning in your heart
Light a candle in your heart
For John.
PS: We loved you, we loved you
PS: We loved you.
