作曲 : Paul Simon
I was reading a magazine
And thinking of a rock and roll song
The year was nineteen fifty four
And I hadn't been playing that long
When a man came on the radio
And this is what he said
He said "I hate to break it to his fans"
But Johnny
Ace is dead, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, I really wasn't, such a
Johnny Ace fan
But I felt bad all the same
So I sent away for his photograph
And I waited till it came
It came all the way from
TexasWith a sad and simple face
And they signed it on the bottom
From the late great
Johnny Ace, yeah, yeah, yeah
It was the year of the
BeatlesIt was the year of the
StonesIt was nineteen sixty four,
I was living in
LondonWith the girl from the summer before
It was the year of the
BeatlesIt was the year of the
Stones, a year after
J.F.KWe were staying up all night and giving the days away
And the music was flowing amazing and blowing my way
On a cold
December evening
I was walking through the
Christmas tide
When a stranger came up and asked me
If I'd heard
John Lennon had died
And the two of us went to this bar
And we stayed to close the place
And every song we played
Was for the late great
Johnny Ace, yeah, yeah, yeah
