Lyrics
If you believe in foreverThen life is just a one-night standIf there’s a rock n’ roll heavenWell you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, bandJimi gave us rainbowsAnd Janis took a piece of our heartsAnd Otis brought us all to the dock of a baySing a song to light my fire, remember Jim that wayThey’ve all found another place, another place to playIf you believe in foreverThen life is just a one-night standIf there’s a rock n’ roll heavenWell you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, bandThey’ve got a hell of a band
