Jitterbug

This ain’t a story

It’s a tale everyone knows,

 

Woke up on Christmas

I could barely tie my shoes

All the gifts had been forgotten

and you were on the news

I know I,

Shouldn’t cry or now pine.

This makes sense,

Some people die.

Remember you for all you’ve left behind.

Remember you for all you’ve left behind.

 

Turn up my walkman I can’t bare the radio.

They’ve been playing your songs over.

A testimonial.

They miss him now he’s gone.

 

I know I,

Shouldn’t cry or now pine.

This makes sense,

Some people die.

Remember you for all you’ve left behind.

Remember you for all you’ve left behind.

 

Remember back in 1980, where were you?

The biggest super star in the world,

Lonely in his room.

If only he could too.

 

Wake me up before you go go baby

Before you go go baby.

I know I,

Some people die?

Don’t have time

Sit and ponder,

Wonder why?

Remember you for all you’ve left behind.

 

 

Left way before your time.

Gotta have faith that I might

See you there one day,

With love from the boy,

Who misses you today.
