With her husband and her beliefs all her dreams came true
She was able to sing country and songs of faith for me and you
Even on her sickest of days she never wavered in her faith
We will miss you Joey Feek. March 4th the day you passed away
Little Red Corvette was the first song stuck in my brain
But the one I can’t forget is Purple Rain
He could have many albums called greatest hits
But the day he died April 21, I will not forget
Craig Strickland you died way too young
Just when your career had begun
I had just discovered Backroad Anthem
January 4th, you disappeared before you could go platinum
I never listened to a lot of your tunes
If they weren’t on the radio so I know I missed quite a few
Changes, Rebel Rebel, Let’s Dance, Dancing In The Streets
Mr. Bowie, after January 10, we will miss your beats
Your legacy with the Eagles few can deny
But when I was 14, Sexy Girl really caught my eye
On January 18th, after a long battle, you passed away
A life of influence in music gone that day
On April 6th you passed away
Crazy how you left on your birthday
Most of your music was before my time
As I listen now the talent gone brings a tear to my eye
Paul Kantner, Papa Wemba , Jane Little, Les Waas, Nick Menza, Lonnie Mack, Otis Clay
Just a few more we will only hear the music they made yesterday
Signe Anderson, Emilio Navaira, Gogi Grant, Lennie Baker, Maurice White
All were here then passed away like the stars in the night
John Bunch, Keith Emerson, Daryl Coley, Guy Clark, John Berry, Leon Haywood , Billy Paul
These are just a few that have passed this year, I am sure I didn’t get them all
Even though they have left this life
They left us music that never dies
