Analysis of Johnny in the Sky



You left us so quickly
We couldn't say goodbye
I know you wouldn't want us
To sit around and cry

We try to share and celebrate
The life that you once lived
But we simply can't ignore
The sadness that's within

The space in our lives
Filled with memories of you
Laughing and crying about
Everything you'd do

Our love will never waiver
Even though we say goodbye
We know you sit in heaven
As our Johnny in the sky ❤❤❤
