title: Hallelujah
ttto: Get Happy by Ted Koehler and Harold Arlen
Sing hallelujah for Leonard Cohen
He gave us many songs we love
Sing Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
He's looking down now from above
Though his words weren't always cheerful
His songs always were a treat
If you found some of his songs tearful
It just means that your soul's complete
There will be no more new songs
That display his special flair
There are still old ones
So do not despair
Filk Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
Join the others who have filked that tune
Do not think it is disrespectful
If you find his songs are opportune
It's we who love his songs
Who keep stoking Cohen's fame
And we acknowledge
He has our acclaim
Remember his songs and sing and use them
They're the legacy he left to us
With new meaning you can infuse them
You honor him when you do thus
