Story behind the song
November 22, 1963
Here is another one from the upcoming record. This song deals with the assassination of President
Kennedy. For anyone who went through this experience in the 60's, it is an event that they will never
forget. It is one of those galvanizing events that really signalled a change, a loss of innocence
that we were all experienced. If you were there, you remember. We felt that any record dealing with
the 60's had to acknowledge this event and it was one of thos songs that basically wrote itself. In a
matter of minutes it was formed. I felt lucky to be the receiver of such a gift. we hope you agree.
Lyrics
November 22nd, 1963
by D. Hansen & M. Hickman c 2005 B.M.I.
The day was full of promise
Their faces filled with joy
The motorcade was festive
As it rolled past girls & boys
The Lone Star shone so brightly
Her moment in the sun
Our Nation on the verge
Of better lives for everyone
It was Camelot the TV said
A storybook affair
Jacqueline & John Kennedy
There was magic in the air
The Lone Star shone so brightly
Her moment in the sun
When the shots rang out cross Dealey Plaza
Life was changed for everyone
Who could have known?
Who would of thought?
Someone could take it all away
With those fatal shots
Who would have known?
Who could of thought?
Someone would take it all away
Our childhood and our innocence … forever lost
The day began with promise
Now their faces show the pain
November sun has turned into
A cold November rain
We’ll remember always
Where we were that day
The 22nd of November, 1963
The 22nd of November, 1963
