[Chorus]
If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.

Jimmy  gave us rainbows,
And Janis  took a piece of our hearts,
And Otis  brought us all to the dock of a bay.
Sing a song to light my fire,
Remember Jim  that way,
They've all found another place, another place to play.

[Chorus]

Remember bad bad Leroy Brown,
Hey Jimmy  touched us with that song.
Time won't change a friend we came to know.
And Bobby  gave us Mack the Knife,
Well look out, he's back in town.
They'll all be there together
When they meet in one big show.

[Chorus]

There's a spotlight waiting
No matter who you are
Cause everybody's got a song to sing,
Everyone's a star
(Everybody's got to be a star).

[Chorus]
