Story behind the song
I was shocked by the death of John Lennon, he was a big influence on my life and my music. This song just came out after I heard about his assassination.
Lyrics
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 too soon
I can't help feeling bad
Feeling sad
The words you wrote
filled our lives with hope
That helped to keep us
going and growing...
Now he's gone
But the world will carry on
Forever, together
Life goes on
A simple theme
You gave us all a dream
That the world will keep on
going and growing...
