Where Have All the Great Singers Gone

Where Have All the Great Singers Gone

Where have all the great singers gone?
Elvis Presley’s roar now echoes in the dawn,
Journey’s anthems drift on silent breeze,
Kris Kristofferson’s chords whisper through the trees.
They’ve journeyed to a place where legends belong,
A realm where every heartfelt song
Finds its home, untouched by wrong,
Where melodies forever prolong.
Roy Orbison’s voice still haunts the night,
“Pretty Woman” dances in twilight’s light,
Blue Bayou dreams of love once strong,
Shake, Rattle and Roll echoes along.
Johnny Cash, your voice a steadfast guide,
In “Folsom Prison,” strength you’d confide,
Kenny Rogers’ tales of Ruby’s town,
Holding on when love lets down.
Janis Joplin’s heart, a wild refrain,
“Piece of My Heart” breaks every chain,
George and Tammy chase rainbows high,
Their harmonies painting the sky.
Leonard Cohen’s verses deep and true,
Hallelujah’s whispers through and through,
Tammy’s tears and George’s sighs,
Love’s complexities in their eyes.
These legends have passed, yet remain,
In every note, in every strain,
Their music lives, a timeless song,
A testament to where they belong.
He stopped loving her today, a mournful tune,
Yet in their songs, they’re never gone too soon,
A symphony of memories we keep,
Where great singers dwell, in dreams we sleep.
