	Story Behind the Song This song was written the day after John Lennon was assisinated in New York city. Lyrics TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (DECEMBER 8, 1980) A Monday night the New York City lights were glowing Then a man his victim close at hand came calling, crawling I heard it on the news It took me by surprise The whole world cried Gentle like a dove You filled our hearts with love that helped to keep us going and growing... Sing along An old familiar song is playing Abouta boy who showed the world the joy of living and giving It ended all too soon I can't help feeling bad Feeling sad The words you wrote filled our lives with hope That helped to keep us going and growing... Now he's gone But the world will carry on Forever, together Life goes on A simple theme You gave us all a dream That the world will keep on going and growing...
