Lyrics
1st Verse:
Two stories of one man were told
Their versions different like a baby grown so old/
One had him on a pedestal
The other feared him for the politics he killed
And never was before an idol with a hairdo
There to help me through a hard days night, in my life
Hook:
This man gave more than a memory
He left behind the feelings for everything
2nd Verse:
He wrote more than a few
Sometimes he took us down that field for a view
And girl don't let me down
What about the walrus
Across the universe he came a revolution man
He had us wondering why
Lucy was in the sky
Hook:
This man gave more than a memory
He left behind the feelings for everything
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Bridge:
Too young he died
But gave us a full life.
Hmmm............ Ahhhh Repeat
3rd Verse:
Imagine growing up without them
To watch the wheels turn without All you need is love
And when you thought a day in a life was over
Out of nowhere man came sounds of Lennon
With a little help from his friends
Hook: This man gave more than a memory
2nd Bridge:
For peace he led the way
Even now his voice has stayed
He had us wondering why
Lucy was in the sky.
Tag:
More than a memory
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
