With just his fingers and strings He'd strum songs so sweet That every girl who heard Would sway to each note. His heart, his lyrics, Every bit of his soul Poured out in a song For a girl he loves so. Every girl except she Would crowd around him So he sung with all might Wishing it would reach her. He kept on singing, And he kept on strumming Till his fingers bled And his voice turned hoarse Hoping the girl would turn To realize she's not alone.
