That Day In June In 68

That day in June in 68 i do remember well
At the sad news from Los Angeles and the Ambassador Hotel
Where the badly wounded Robert Kennedy in agony lay
He may have done well for the U S of A.

Some twenty six hours later Robert Kennedy died
His chance of becoming President to him was denied
By one still in prison an unstable man
Who goes by the name of Sirhan B Sirhan.

Since that sad day for America four decades ago
In death the legend of the great Robert Kennedy grow
For fame and for glory a huge price he did pay
He did not deserve to die in such a way.

He did not live on for to grow old and gray
He would have been in his early eighties today
He was a great person his praises were sung
His life taken from him when he was still young.
