Long ago there was a girl
She loved to sing
She would sing when she woke
She would sing before she slept
She would sing while she worked
She would sing as she wept
Each night she went home to her family
Nobody warned her how hard life could be
The girl who'd sing
People heard her voice fill the air
Her voice would ring
If they knew, would they care?
She would sing between her meals
She would sing through her daily grind
She would sing - the notes would be heard
She would sing, leaving worries behind
Each night she went home to her family
Nobody warned her how hard life could be
The girl who'd sing
People heard her voice fill the air
Her voice would ring
If they knew, would they care?
Sometimes the people you trust can cause the hardest fall
Unconditional love can mean nothing at all
Where you feel safe might be danger to fear
And you never know when the end might be near
She would sing for the love deep inside
She would sing, but no one replied
She would sing through tears that she cried
She would sing - she would sing as she died
The girl who'd sing
People heard her voice fill the air
Her voice would ring
If they knew, would they care?
Long ago there was a girl
She loved to sing
Only her song remains
And if you try
You can still hear it ring
