Raise the curtains
turn up the lights
Johnny's singing for you tonight,
songs of triumph
songs of strife
things he's seen all his life.
He sang from his heart,
his words were true
and when he sang
you felt like he was singing to you.
He performed songs by himself
and his wife June
and through the years
his voice was never out of tune.
Although Johnny's gone away
a place in our hearts he'll alway's stay.
Through his words he'll live on,
and as long as we remember him
he'll never be gone.
Wipe your tears, say goodbye
be strong
try not to cry,
Johnny's gone and won't be back
turn down the lights
fade to black.
