Laurika Rauch - 1963 Lyrics

Lyrics 1963 - Laurika Rauch



It's five to twelve and almost time
For one more rendezvous
At Mockingbird turn left
And go down Lemmon Avenue
And passing Lomo Alto Drive
Veer right in Turtle Creek
Continue on down Cedar Springs
You'll soon cross Live Oak Street
You're coming into Main Street
And the crowd begins to roar
You smile at many people
That you've never seen before
You keep on gliding down
That street across my memory
Down in Dealey Plaza back in 1963
Heard somebody singing, soft and low
Heard somebody talking on the radio
Don't know why it happened
Don't know why
Only know a little bit of magic died
On that day you took that final ride
On that day a little bit of magic died
You waved at many people
That you'd never seen before
You smiled at many people
But you don't smile anymore
Turn right in Houston
Left in Elm Street can't you see the sign?
It's almost half-past twelve in Dallas
Central Standard Time
At one o'clock they told you
Something you already knew
Riding right beside him
On that autumn rendezvous
The doctor saw your hands were cupped
Your bright pink suit was stained
The doctor said you gave
Him pieces of your husband's brain
Heard somebody singing, soft and low
Heard somebody talking on the radio
Don't know why it happened
Don't know why
Only know a little bit of magic died
On that day you took that final ride
On that day a little bit of magic died
You keep on gliding down that street across my memory
The twenty second of November 1963
You smiled at many people but you don't smile anymore
A little bit of magic died in 1994
