The Lyrics
Written for John Lennon's birthday
Imagine there were no bullets
The gun he had shot blanks.
No murder in the park that day
Just another stupid prank.
Imagine John still here today
Five years passed sixty four.
Imagine more great music
A legacy come true.
Songs to warm your heart with
To stop you feeling blue.
Imagine all the music
He'd have written by today.
You might say I'm a dreamer
'cause I know he's not alive
But around the globe there are millions like me
Of music lovers deprived.
Imagine what the world would be like
If John had made it through
Maybe even a Beatles reunion
or an Imagine disc brand new
All we can imagine now
Is how it might have been.
You might say I'm a dreamer
'cause I know he's not alive
But around the globe there are millions like me
Of music lovers deprived.
The gun he had shot blanks.
No murder in the park that day
Just another stupid prank.
Imagine John still here today
Five years passed sixty four.
Imagine more great music
A legacy come true.
Songs to warm your heart with
To stop you feeling blue.
Imagine all the music
He'd have written by today.
You might say I'm a dreamer
'cause I know he's not alive
But around the globe there are millions like me
Of music lovers deprived.
Imagine what the world would be like
If John had made it through
Maybe even a Beatles reunion
or an Imagine disc brand new
All we can imagine now
Is how it might have been.
You might say I'm a dreamer
'cause I know he's not alive
But around the globe there are millions like me
Of music lovers deprived.

Don't be too discouraged by the lack of response, Steve. That will happen to noobs on this site. Now, what we have here is a nice tribute to Lennon using one of his own signature songs. So a 3x5 rating is in order even though the "How Funny" criterion is not applicable, because your song wasn't intended as a spoof of Lennon. Sometimes that criterion gets in the way of giving a song proper credit
I haven't been to the site as often as I should. Glad I found this one. I still remember when a lady at work got the phone call telling of John Lennon's death. A gentle man as well as a gentleman. I like your reference to him at age 64. People still admired him, though, sadly he wasn't there to see it.
