Cleo's Gone.

Goldfinch60



She has gone,

Cleo Laine has left this world.

Now she is with the angels

And back with Johnny,

Singing with him once more

Bringing such glory to all,

To all in heaven.

All my life she has been there,

Been there for me.

Her voice so wonderful

Always brought shivers to me

As I listened to her

And will always so do,

As her music is here,

Here with me still.

She has left the world

But left her music with me,

So I say goodbye Cleo

And thank you for the music.
