By the sand and fire light
|
While watching the fallin' star
|
Came a lady from the night
|
Who started playin' on my guitar
|
|
She was like a melody
|
That no one had ever heard
|
When she sang her magic song
|
I had to listen to every word
|
|
But she made me see
|
Like I never had before
|
Don't you know she set me free
|
Like I never been before
|
Don't you know the girl could sing
|
And I thought of what the future would bring
|
|
By the stars and fire light
|
The music was sweet and clear
|
Though I had her to myself
|
I was afraid someone else would hear
|
|
Soon the other heard her playin'
|
Started to gather round
|
One by one they started stayin'
|
'Cause they couldn't believe the sound
|
|
And she made them see
|
Like they never had before
|
Don't you know she set them free
|
Like they'd never been before
|
Don't you know the girl could sing
|
And I thought of what the future would bring
|
|
I see her every now and then
|
In movies and on T.V.
|
Wonder as I sit there watchin'
|
If she ever thinks of me
|
|
By the sand and fire light
|
(oooooooooooooo)
|
Before she became a star
|
(ooooo just a melody)
|
She was just a melody
|
When she was playin' on my guitar
|
Playin' on my g...playin' on my g...playin' on my guitar
|
