I was reading a magazine | |
And thinking of a rock and roll song | |
The year was 1954 | |
And I hadn't been playing that long | |
When a man came on the radio | |
And this is what he said | |
He said I hate to break it to his fans | |
But Johnny Ace is dead, yeah, yeah, yeah | |
Well, I really wasn't | |
Such a Johnny Ace fan | |
But I felt bad all the same | |
So I sent away for his photograph | |
And waited 'till it came | |
It came all the way from Texas | |
With a sad and simple face | |
And they signed it on the bottom | |
From the late, great Johnny Ace, yeah, yeah, yeah | |
It was the year of the Beatles | |
It was the year of the Stones | |
It was 1964 | |
I was living in London | |
With the girl from the summer before | |
It was the year of the Beatles | |
It was the year of the Stones | |
A year after J.F.K | |
We were staying up all night | |
And giving the days away | |
And the music was flowing amazing | |
And blowing my way | |
On a cold December evening | |
I was walking through the Christmas tide | |
When a stranger came up and asked me | |
If I'd heard John Lennon had died | |
And the two of us went to this bar | |
And we stayed to close the place | |
And every song we played was for | |
The Late, Great Johnny Ace, yeah, yeah, yeah |
