By the sand and fire light While watching the fallin' star Came a lady from the night Who started playin' on my guitar She was like a melody That no one had ever heard When she sang her magic song I had to listen to every word But she made me see Like I never had before Don't you know she set me free Like I never been before Don't you know the girl could sing And I thought of what the future would bring By the stars and fire light The music was sweet and clear Though I had her to myself I was afraid someone else would hear Soon the other heard her playin' Started to gather round One by one they started stayin' 'Cause they couldn't believe the sound And she made them see Like they never had before Don't you know she set them free Like they'd never been before Don't you know the girl could sing And I thought of what the future would bring I see her every now and then In movies and on T.V. Wonder as I sit there watchin' If she ever thinks of me By the sand and fire light (Oooooooooooooo) Before she became a star (Ooooo just a melody) She was just a melody When she was playin' on my guitar Playin' on my g... playin' on my g... playin' on my guitar
