In Memoriam

Once upon a time
Love rained down out of melody and rhyme
But then one day, the band refused to play
No one to bang the drum
Harmony, overshadowed by a dreary hum
Are happy ends never meant to last forever?

An autumn leaf, whirling down from the tree of time
May shine its love once more upon you tonight
Nearly rotten, almost forgotten, the funeral bell chimes
But still its love may shine once more tonight

Wake up everyone!
Rock 'n roll is not completely gone
A grain of pop was put aside the day the music died
When hope gets washed away
There's still a candle to light that rainy day
But when the fire runs out, the blue sky reverts to gray

An autumn leaf, whirling down from the tree of time
May shine its love once more upon you tonight
Nearly rotten, almost forgotten, the funeral bell chimes
But still its love may shine once more tonight

But still its love may shine once more tonight

Once upon a time
Love rained down out of melody and rhyme
Are happy ends never meant to last forever?
