Don't Say Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I cried that day when I heard John Lennon died
Lord in Heaven above was asleep
When the fool with the gun stole his life
After all he'd said and done
He was God's chosen one
In our hearts you'll never die
Don't say good-bye
He longed for love
As a child he felt deprived
Still he found his guitar a release
From the pain that he felt deep inside
He had only just begun
He was God's chosen one
In our hearts you'll never die
Don't say good-bye
Imagine, Lucy in the sky
Had a ticket to ride
Told the fool on the hill
Get back
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Penny Lane, Drive my car
Now the Magical Mystery tour ends
Don't say good-bye
Don't say good-bye
Don't say good-bye
Imagine, Lucy in the sky
Had a ticket to ride
Told the fool on the hill
Get back
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Penny Lane, Drive my car
Now the Magical Mystery tour ends
If there's a God in Heaven
I ask you why
I cried that day when I heard John Lennon died
Lord in Heaven above was asleep
When the fool with the gun stole his life
