I CRIED A TEAR TODAY
FOR A FRIEND I’VE NEVER MET
THOUGH HE WILL NEVER HEAR
I WILL NEVER FORGET
THE LOVE THAT I HAVE
AND I WILL ALWAYS HOLD
ABOUT THE KIND OF LIFE
AND THE STORIES HE TOLD
NO HIGHER HILL COULD I CLIMB
THAN ONE’S SET INSIDE THE MIND
YOU SAY JOHNNYWENT TO HEAVEN
WHO SHOT JOHN LENNON
IT’S KIND OF HARD NOT TO SHED A TEAR
WHEN ONE IS GONE WHO WAS HELD SO DEAR
FEW MEN HAVE DONE
WHAT HE HAS DONE WITH A PEN
HEROES NEVER DIE
THEIR MEMORIES LOVE ON, ON AGAIN
IT’S KIND OF HARD NOT TO SHED A TEAR
WHEN ONE IS GONE WHO WAS HELD SO DEAR
