Once upon a time There's a young girl In a rundown house She's afraid of the world And its dangers So she never went out Her window was all she had She spent all the day looking out She was tired of being alone With nobody else in the house As the sun was down She started singin' a song And everyone around could hear the mellow melody People in town Started singin' along And she smiled While she listened to the echo For the very first time In her whole life Someone noticed her And from that moment on She's always waiting Waiting for the night She no longer felt so alone With nobody else in the house Still nobody knew her name But everyone knew her voice As the sun was down She started singin' a song And everyone around could hear the mellow melody People in town Started singin' along And she smiled While she listened to the echo As the sun was down She started singin' a song And everyone around could hear the mellow melody People in town Started singin' along And she smiled While she listened to the echo As the sun was down She started singin' a song And everyone around could hear the mellow melody People in town Started singin' along And she smiled While she listened to the echo
