The Righteous Brothers Lyrics
Rock & Roll Heaven

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got
A hell of a band, band, band

Jimmy gave us Rainbows [3] ,
And Janis [4] took a piece of our hearts.
And Otis [5] brought us all to the dock of a bay.
Sing a song to light my fire,
Remember Jim [6] that way.
They've all found another place,
Another place to play.

If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got
A hell of a band, band, band.

Remember bad, bad Leroy Brown?
Hey Jimmy [7] touched us with that song.
Time won't change a friend we came to know.
And Bobby [8] gave us Mack the Knife,
Well look out, he's back in town [9] .
They'll all be there together,
When they meet in one big show.

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got
A hell of a band, band, band.

There's a spotlight waiting,
No matter who you are.
'Cause everybody's got a song to sing,
Everyone's a star.
(Everybody's got to be a star.)

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got
A hell of a band.

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got
A hell of a band.

If you believe in forever,
[Fade.]
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven...
