The Singer

She loved the singer

She loved the way he stood on stage and played

And just poured out his heart and soul

She loved the dreamer

The way the lights would hit his eyes

And shine just like a record made of gold

She couldn't count the time she stayed up all night

Scared to death and prayin'

Wondering if he'd ever make it home

She loved the singer, she just couldn't live the song

She loved the hero

Even more than that, she loved the man without the mask

When no one was around

She let him lean on

Her lovin' arms when he would call

He'd fall she'd pick him up off the ground

And in her dreams the face he sees ain't the one taken with a camera

It's the one after the mask was taken off

She loved the singer, she just couldn't live the song

Tryin' to hold him's like tryin' to hold a flame

She was always just one of a million screaming his name

She loved the poet

The words straight from his heart tear you apart

Then start to make you fall right back in love

And every day the radio plays one familiar

And it hits her just a little too strong

She loved the singer, she just couldn't live the song

Tryin' to hold him's like tryin' to hold a flame

She was always just one of a million screaming his name

Screaming his name…

She loved the singer, man she loved the dreamer

She loved the singer, she just couldn't live the song
