Unreleased Michael Jackson Lyrics Put Up for Auction
(Daily Mail) - A close friend of Michael Jackson's has put some previously unreleased lyrics written by the late star up for auction.
The eight-and-a-half line verse has intrigued fans and is being sold by auctioneers Bonhams, who are expecting to offers of up to £3,000.
Dr Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist, is selling the handwritten lyrics after being declared bankrupt.
Research has shown that it is not part of any song already published and may well have been part of a composition not yet released.
It's believed the words could also have been a work in progress or even a project that he abandoned.
The eight-and-a-half lines, written in pen on white paper, are now being sold by Dr Klein who is selling off his possessions since being declared bankrupt.
The verse in Jackson's hand begins: 'Across the sea of time, we shall meet on endless shores, counting our blessings of love's eternity.'
One line is crossed out and the lyric ends: 'So let us meet on endless shores at the break of dawn...'
Dr Klein was a close friend of Jackson's – it was he who employed Jackson's former wife Debbie Rowe, the mother of two of the star's children.
Catherine Williamson, from Bonhams, said: 'It looks like it is written in poetic format. There are eight-and-a-half lines and they feel like lyrics.
'We could not find it in any of his published music so maybe it was a work in progress or is a song that has not yet been released.
'These lyrics are pretty intriguing and we will expect they will attract a lot of attention." The auction takes place in Los Angeles, U.S., on January 23.'
