EDWARD R "EDDIE" COCHRAN
3 October 1938 - 17 April 1960
"A Tribute to the beloved Eddie Cochran."
"If mere words
can console us
for the loss of
our beloved Eddie,
then our love to him
was a false love."
"Heavenly music filled the air
that very tragic day.
Something seemed to be missing tho
So I heard the creator say:
"We need a master guitarist and singer.
I know of but one alone.
His name is Eddie Cochran.
I think I'll call him home.
"I know the folks on earth won't mind,
for they will understand
that the Lord loves perfection,
now we'll have a perfect band.
So as we go through life, now we know
that perfection is our goal;
and we strive for this.
So when we are called
we'll feel free to go."
Mr Cochran passed away due to a car accident while in England.
