Classics
By: Lawrence W Langman (c)

If you simply allow to rock a by
to a classic lullaby.
Tears well up within an eye
dancing to American Pie.
My oh my why do you sigh
upon a pedestal way up high?
She says she loves you in reply
do you miss it in her eyes?
To the levee she drove on by
that night the music finally died.
What is the meaning that underlies
telling her Whiskey and Rye goodbye.
So good old boys can look at the sky
singing those songs that sanctified.
Although where they lied was dry
those melodies shall never defy.
The reason our music won't go awry
the greatness of an era won't be denied.
