He was taken from us,
This man of music.
So much joy he gives me
Even though he is not of this world,
His sounds live on forever.
A sound so compelling,
So compelling to me
That he has never died,
And will always be with me.
Chet may not be with me in body
But his Spirit is within me
Every time I hear him play,
Hear him blow his horn,
That sound will never die.
