John, My John

I looked for you today
Just Like I always do
Expecting to hear your voice
Singing some blues tune
Was waiting for you to say
"Sing with me sis "
That's when it hit me
Those days don't exist
C
John, my John
Why did I go to sleep
Why did I tell you
Our singing would keep
John, my John
I thought we'd have tomorrow
How was I to know
Our time together was borrowed
V
It's been nearly a year
Since I heard your voice
I'd give my life to hear it again
If only I had the choice
Our God gave me
The ultimate test
When I said our songs could keep
So I could get some rest
B
When I close my eyes
At the end of the night
I can hear all the angels sing
But one voice is higher
In that winged choir
It's you, serenading my dreams
C
John, my John
I fight to stay asleep
Cause I need to hear you
Our singing wont keep
John, my John
I thought we'd have tomorrow
How was I to know
Our time together was borrowed
