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
