[Intro]
Oh John, oh John, oh John
Oh John, oh John, oh John
[Verse 1]
Never lose the memory
Of April twenty-six
Your hands designed my body
You autographed my hip
[Pre-Chorus]
I lost all my worry
I lost all sense of time
My fears evaporated
When you held me in your oh my God and
[Chorus]
Oh John, in a New York hotel room
In a truck off the back road
Southwest of Chicago
Oh John, in a New England fairground
On a lawn in the backyard
In a town in Colorado, oh
Oh John, oh John, oh John
[Verse 2]
Saturate my consciousness
With sweet elixir wine
Your body is the chalice
Your spirit is the vine
[Pre-Chorus]
I lose all my worry
I lose all sense of time
My fears evaporate
When you hold me in your oh my God and
[Chorus]
Oh John, in a New York hotel room
In a truck off the back road
Southwest of Chicago
Oh John, in a New England fairground
On a lawn in the backyard
In a town in Colorado, oh
Oh John, oh John, oh John
Oh John, oh John, oh
[Bridge]
And every time I see the ocean you're there
And every time I see the forest you're on my mind
In my life
Flooding me with memories like
[Chorus]
Oh John, in a New York hotel room
In a truck off the back road
Southwest of Chicago
Oh John, in a New England fairground
On a lawn in the backyard
In a town in Colorado, oh
Oh John, oh John, oh John
Oh John, oh John, oh John
Oh John, oh John, oh John
Oh John, oh John, oh John
