“JOHN’S SONG” (THE LOVE...

Written by Greg Arrell

John, you're gone, and I can't carry on
The road will be too long without your song without your song
In '63, you gave my life to me--You made me what I am what I am
The only man, who gave a damn

Why do they always take the one I need
Like Martin Luther and the Kennedy's
If there's a reason I've just got to know
Why do they always take the one I need, the one I need the most

John, you're gone, they blew your life away
But they can't take, away the love you gave, the love you gave
You dared, to dream, you tried to show the way
You never dreamed, the price you'd have to pay
For the love you gave, the love you gave
The love you gave.......................Bye bye
