The sign on the marquee says "Live Tonight",
But the lights they have been dimmed,
For the stage it will be empty,
And the curtains have been trimmed.
The plane was lost in Tennessee,
And the golden voice was stilled,
The disc-jockey held back the tears,
As he announced that Patsy Cline was killed.
Country stars and fans alike,
Were saddened by the news,
For a woman whose love of life,
Was to sing the country blues.
The Grand Ole Opry is silent,
At the loss of a good friend,
But the music from this country star,
Will last till time does end.
The sign on the marquee says "Live Tonight",
And Patsy Cline will sing,
For the lord so loved her beautiful voice,
That to heaven, Patsy, he did bring.
