Lucy Vodden, childhood friend of Julian Lennon, died last week of Lupus. She was the inspiration for the song after Julian came home from school one day with a drawing. When asked what it was, he said, Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Or so the story goes. People use to say the song was really about LSD, I just think maybe John was trippin when he took a gander at that picture, which is posted below.
