I cannot really complain today,

more celebrate,

I know that he will continue on,

talks about the thrill,

even says he will still live on,

he’s played to our mind and soul,

forever singing the blues,

he is on his way now,

a peaceful serenade,

left back here with us are the memories.

There will be dancing in the street,

the sound of his blues everywhere,

we’ll listen as if he is as elite

might be standing nearby, right there,

playing his music,

letting his fingertips dance along the strings,

with his smile inside the dream,

always runs alongside the words,

I’m listening to you tonight,

wishing you Godspeed as you journey forward,

BB King’s in the clouds with his favorite muse.
