Dear Johnny,
I know that you're dead,
It was (for me) a big surprise,
You were so full of life,
Then you went, and closed you're eyes.
You were my 'little brother'
My best friend, too,
I had no one else in the world, besides the greasers, and you.
Why did you have to die Johnny?
Why did you have to go?
What happened to your dreams Johnny?
Why did you let them go?
At least you weren't hardened,
By years of jail, and hate.
At least Johnny, you stayed gold,
You had to die maybe,
But you were my best mate!
I should have tried harder,
I should have kept you safe,
'Cuz you were my pal Johnny,
And miss you throughout the day.
I guess this is the end, Johnny,
At least for me, it truly is.
I miss you a lot Johnny.
Why did you have to go?
So, listen to the sirens Johnny, they're the end for me.
I'm going to die soon.
And that's the way it's going to be.
I may never see you Johnny,
As for me, the next world is Hell.
You were better Johnny,
You went to Heaven after you heard the death bell.
So, Good-Bye Johnny,
I've always missed you so.
Good-bye Johnny, that's all I wanted you to know.
