[Chorus]
Out the blue, you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue, life's energy
Out the blue, you came to me

[Verse 1]
Every day, I thank the Lord and Lady
For the way that you came to me
Anyway, it had to be
Two minds, one destiny

[Chorus]
Out the blue, you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue, life's energy
Out the blue, you came to me

[Verse 2]
All my life has been a long slow knife
I was born just to get to you
Anyway, I survived
Long enough to make you my wife

[Chorus]
Out the blue, you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue, life's energy
Out the blue, you came to me

[Keyboard Solo]

[Chorus]
Like a U.F.O., you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue, life's energy
Out the blue, you came to me

John Lennon

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.
