lyrics

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (A TRIBUTE TO JOHN LENNON)

A Monday night
the New York City lights
were glowing
Then a man
his victim close at hand
came calling, crawling
I heard it on the news
It took me by surprise
The whole world cried
Gentle like a dove
you filled our hearts with love
that helped to keep us
going and growing

Sing along
an old familiar song
is playing
About a boy
who showed the world the joy
of living and giving
It ended all so soon
I can't help feeling bad
feeling sad
The words your wrote
filled our lives with hope
that helped to keep us
going and growing
Going, growing

Now he's gone
but the dream will carry on
forever, together
Ou, la la la, ou la la la
Ou la la la, ou la la la
Life goes on
A simple theme:
you gave us all a dream
that helped to keep us
going and growing
Going and growing
Going, yeah glowing . . .

The two lads knew then what they wanted to be when they grew up. They bugged their parents for guitars and by 1969 had hooked up with Byron Gunderson to form a rock band. They have played together off and on ever since. ... more
