That song it took me back to my early years,made me stop and wonder why As i sat there i was holding back the tears. Chorus Give him a message from me, Tell him to just let it be. Imagine what he could have done still he will live on and on. verse 2 Everytime i stop and think of you, and the day you passed away. The feeling of loss i felt, No words can say. People were crying in the streets, then i heard somebody say. All that you wanted was to give peace a chance.

But his musical legacy lives on through virtually all of us who post songs in this forum in some form or another whether we realize it or not! Thanks, 'Torrey https://torreybliss.bandcamp.com/

As an FYI, I used to live in the apartment building next to his and walked past the Imagine sidewalk sign in Central Park everyday on my way to work. Such a loss. Thank you for this song.

I lived in an apartment building next door to where John Lennon lived and was shot and walked past the exact spot where he was shot every day. I also had to cross over the Imagine sign in the sidewalk in Central Park every day as well on my way to work. I usually saw Yoko Ono walking her dog every day as well. I am a huge Beatles fan and words cannot express my sorrow and outrage at what happened.

Lots of flowers and tributes placed by fans. It was really quite touching. Great chorus by the way. Cheers. Mike. Mike.

Greg Johnson Veteran G Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 7,052 Davis, CA	How wonderful to hear something from you Colly!! I really like this! I started playing music because I wanted to be like The Beatles. I remember around '65 wanting a Beatle haircut, Beatle boots for X-mas, and of course, and electric guitar. I remember holding hands with my cousin (I was about 8 and she was 16) while we were walking and listening to "I wanna hold your hand" on her transistor radio. I remember the year Happy Christmas came out when I was in high school. I remember the tragic day in 1980 when I heard he'd been killed. In my mind and heart, music and The Beatles will always be connected. If you haven't seen it, you should check out the movie Mr. Holland's Opus. It takes place in 3 sections, each about 15 years apart. The middle section involves Lennon's assassination. It is a very moving film. Thanks for sharing, and keep posing!! Take care. Greg
