She brought in Imagine.
Every child knew the words and all 15 of them sang along to John Lennon. I'm sure he would have loved it. (She went to a wonderful school.) | |

I do remember one cold December night my father woke me up urgently to come watch the TV. Monday Night Footbal, NE vs. MIA, Howard Cossell," In the end, this is only a game. We have more important things to talk about. A few hours ago John Lennon was shot four times out side his apartment in New York city....." | |

Posted: 10/30/2011 10:14:54 AM | about this week in time it had moved into the top five, imagine didn't hang around long. the album did make it to number 1.
a friend had told me that a track from john lennons new album was being played every 30 minutes on the radio. it was true "its so hard" i thought wow sounds like cold turkey and i was a little disappointed. then it was jealous guy, then imagine, you wouldn't believe what type of radio i had.
and to say the least my life was never the same | |

Posted: 10/31/2011 4:05:57 AM | Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live, will live as one
