Bless You
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Bless you, wherever you are,
Windswept child on a shooting star,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Restless spirits depart,
Still we're deep in each other's hearts.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Some people say it's over,
Now that we spread our wings.
But we know better, darling,
The hollow ring is only last years echo, oh.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Bless you, whoever you are,
Holding her now,
Be warm and kind hearted.
Ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed.
And remember, though love is strange,
Now and forever, our love will remain.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- "we'll take a listen"

Bless You - Yoko Ono
