The Big Show
Sitting here in the dark thinking
Thinking,
Listening to Johnnie Taylor
Taking me back down that old
Memory lane..
Singing “I believe in you”
While the rain beats against my
Window pane..
All the fun memories of my
School days ring out loud &
Clear..
While skating to Disco Lady
Eating cotton candy and never
Gain a pound..
Dancing close holding hands
Moving across the floor..
Shake oh shake, shake all a
Round..
Now here comes soul heaven
He was having such a good
Time..
Seeing all his buddies in this
One night only shindig..
Line up to play their songs
Johnnie Taylor said we need to
Buy our tickets..
The tickets are running out mighty
Fast...
Hey, I love all those guys whom
To many to call their names
But, I'm not ready to buy that
Ticket just yet!
I know this concert will be jumping
Standing around with Sam Cooke
Singing "A Change Gonna Come"
Even Marvin Gaye singing "Let's
Get It On"
So many I can’t mention..
Just think about "Lonely Teardops"
Jackie Wilson dance to his own beat..
Johnnie say it raining,
But everybody just stood there..
While King Curtis Blue "Played His
Soul Serenade"
Elvis Presley
Singing "His Blue Suede Shoes"
The Mighty Temptations singing
"Ain't To Proud To Beg"
He said the Bar-kays tuning their guitars
While Z.Z Hill Singing "Down Home
Blues"
Oh so many I cannot mention..
Johnnie didn’t want to wake up
Cause he was having such a good
Time..
Amidst all those great super stars..
Oh, yes he was having such a good
Time...
Singing "Soul Heaven"
He buy his ticket to this big one
Night Show..
So he said he was having such a
Good time..
With all his super star buddies "Singing
In soul Heaven"
I know that concert was jumping with
With all those super stars singing
In that one night only concert in soul
Heaven....
You see Johnnie Taylor said he was havin
Such a good time...
And he decided to join his friends in the land
They call soul Heaven..
For this one night big show...
