In August of 1977,
My world changed forever,
The King was dead and gone for good,
He changed the world of music for us all,

Why do all the good ones go?
Before their time is even old,
Touched our hearts and made us cry,
With "Love Me Tender" and "My Way"

In December of 1980,
My world changed forever,
Legend of a Beatle slain,
He changed the world of music for us,

Senseless act that took his life,
Much too soon he left this world,
Wrote the songs that touched our souls,
"Imagine" and "In My Life,"

Yes, they sang the songs that changed the world,
To them we owe a debt of thanks,
They changed the world of music for us all,

Yes, they sang the songs that changed the world,
To them we owe a debt of thanks,
They changed the world of music for us all,
