Song For Duke(LP Version) - Judy Collins[00:00:01]

I didn't even know the man[00:00:14]

I didn't know the man himself[00:00:18]

Even though his music filled my life[00:00:22]

As it has so many others[00:00:26]

I knew that he had died that week[00:00:31]

After fighting death a year or more[00:00:36]

But I had had a rule before[00:00:40]

That funerals were a waste of flowers[00:00:44]

But something said I had to go[00:00:49]

To be a witness to his gift of love[00:00:53]

A man who never once gave up on life[00:00:58]

Until death took him in his tracks[00:01:02]

The people stood around the church[00:01:08]

Ten thousand people there they say or more[00:01:12]

Black and white rich and poor[00:01:17]

Together they were there to say farewell[00:01:21]

In New York city it had rained that day[00:01:25]

The streets were silver and the sky was grey[00:01:30]

But in the church the music soared and sang[00:01:35]

And seemed to fill the air with shining sun[00:01:39]

The man was a hero[00:01:44]

He played the music of our souls[00:01:49]

He knew that we all have in us[00:01:53]

A place where beauty always grows[00:01:57]

Outside in the streets again[00:02:21]

The people wandered through the falling rain[00:02:25]

They waved their hands and dried their tears[00:02:30]

And turned to go about their lives again[00:02:34]

But none of us will be the same[00:02:39]

If we hear the things his music says[00:02:43]

That loving is the gift of life[00:02:48]

And making music was his way of love[00:02:52]

The man was a hero[00:02:57]

He played the music of our souls[00:03:01]

He knew that we all have in us[00:03:06]

A place where beauty always grows[00:03:10]
