[Verse]
         
I heard she sa

ng a good song
       
I heard she ha

d a style
      
and so I came 

to see her
    
and listen for

 a while.
          
And there she 


was this young

 girl
          
a stranger to 

my eyes.

[Chorus]
            
Strumming my p

[Verse]
        
I felt all flu

shed with feve

r
        
embarrassed by

 
 the crowd.
        
I felt she fou

nd my letters
    
and read each 

one out loud.
           
I prayed that 


she would fini

sh
            
but she just k

     
ept right on.

Killing me sof

with her song.

[Verse]
         
She sang as if

 she knew me
       
in all my dark

 despair.
          
And then she l

ooked right th

rough me
   
as if I wasn't

 there.
          
And she just k


ept on singing
       
Singing clear 

and strong.

[Chorus]
            
Strumming my p
