VERSE 1:
[Bbm7] I heard she [Eb] sang a good song, [Ab] I heard she [Db] had a style
[Bbm7] and so I [Eb] came to see her, and [Fm7] listen for a while.
[Bbm7] And there she [Eb] was this young girl, [Ab] a stranger [C7] to my eyes.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 2:
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt she found my letters, and read each one out loud.
I prayed that she would finish, but she just kept right on.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
She sang as if she knew me, in all my dark despair.
And then she looked right through me, as if I wasn't there.
And she just kept on singing, singing clear and strong
