"Abraham, Martin And John / Precious Memories" lyrics
(originally by Dion)
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But the good they say die young
And I just looked around, and he was gone
Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But the good they say die young
And I just looked around, and he was gone
Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But the good they say die young
And I just looked around, and he was gone
Didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me
So we'd be free?
Someday soon there's gonna be a new day
Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walking up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John
Precious memories
How they linger
How they ever flood my soul
Then, the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But the good they say die young
And I just looked around, and he was gone
Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But the good they say die young
And I just looked around, and he was gone
Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But the good they say die young
And I just looked around, and he was gone
Didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me
So we'd be free?
Someday soon there's gonna be a new day
Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walking up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John
Precious memories
How they linger
How they ever flood my soul
Then, the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
