So I Sang

I never was the biggest or the fastest guy I never hit a home run when the game was tied I knew from an early age I wasn't going to be A doctor or the CEO of anything So I sang, "She Believes in Me" And I played, "Fire on the Mountain" 'Til I made my fingers bleed I tried to stand out from the crowd But most times I just struck out at the plate So I sang I wasn't cool enough to be a ladies man It took me forever just to hold her hand First time we kissed, she whispered, I love you But I wasn't brave enough to say, I loved her too So I sang, "You Are So Beautiful to Me" And I played every note to "Faithfully" I loved her with everything But I couldn't think of anything to say So I sang No one believed in me as much as Mom See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar When the angels called her home My sister asked if I would speak But there were no words to say how much she meant to me So I sang, "It Is Well with My Soul" And I played, "I'm So Tired of Being Alone" Cause those were Mama's favorite songs And what I felt would take too long to say So I sang Yes, I sang So I sang
