Soul Heaven

Last night I dreamed I was at a concert

So many people, you had to stand in line

One night only in Soul Heaven

I didn't wanna wake up

I was having such a good time

All of The Bar-Kays were tuning up on stage

Jimi had his guitar, gettin' ready to play

Sam was singing "A Change Gonna Come"

Otis was there, sittin' at the dock of the bay

There was a party in Soul Heaven

Superstars from the past

Standing room only, so you better hurry

Buy your ticket cause they're going fast

Train & Miles (J. Coltrane, M.Davis) took mean solo

Jr. Walker had 'em dancing in the isles

They stood up when Jackie sang "Lonley Teardrops"

When Sammy (Davis, Jr.) danced, the crowd went wild

I think I saw Ella standing with Mahalia

Backstage with Elvis with his blue suede shoes

It started raining, everybody just stayed there

To hear Z.Z. sing the "Down Home Blues"

Well there's a party in Soul Heaven

Superstars from the past

Standing room only, so you better hurry

Buy your ticket cause they're going fast

There's a party in Soul Heaven

Superstars from the past

The great Al Jackson was a holding down the beat

When Marvin sang "Let's Get It On", they jumped to

their feet

Everyone started screaming and gave a standing ovation

When the curtain came up with the mighty Temptations

King Curtis blew the "Soul Serenade"

Thought I saw Lady Day (B. Holiday) sittin' in the

shade

I got two lovers and I ain't ashamed

Lord I love the way sweet Mary (Wells) sings

It was getting kinda late, it was time to go

Tupac and Biggie (Smalls), they closed the show

(Boo!)

I didn't wanna wake up, I was having such a good time

I didn't wanna wake up, I was having such a good time

Pearl Bailey, she was there

Duke and Count, they were there

Woah Hathaway (Donnie), I saw him there

Dizzie and Satchmo, I saw 'em there

It was a party in Soul Heaven

You shoulda been there

You shoulda been there

Everyone was having such a good time

Soul Heaven
