John Lennon

Songwriter: John Lennon

- "Okay, but we like to, we like to have those things on record"
- "Yeah, right"
- "Let's not get so hysterical this time"
- "No"

My life, take it, it's mine to give
Take it, let me live in you
My life, take it, it's yours
Do what you will, I dedicate it to you

What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

My life, take it, for better or worse
Why waste time?
We both know together is the only way
We'll make it any way
Take it, my life
My life is you

What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

I've only myself to
I've only myself to (Give to) you

My life, take it, for better or worse
Why waste time?
When we both know together is the only way
We're gonna make it any way
Take it, my life
My life is you

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
