VERSE 1:
[Bbm7] I heard he [Eb] sang a good song, [Ab] I heard he [Db] had a style
[Bbm7] and so I [Eb] came to see him, and [Fm7] listen for a while.
[Bbm7] And there he [Eb] was this young boy, [Ab] a stranger [C7] to my eyes.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 2:
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
He sang as if he knew me, in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me, as if I wasn't there.
And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong
