So I Sang

I never was the biggest or the fastest guy

Never hit a homerun when the game was tied

I knew from an early age I wasn't going to be

A doctor or the CEO of anything

So I sang: She believes in me

And I played: Fire on the mountain

Till I made my fingers bleed

I tried to stand out from the crowd

But most times I just struck out at the plate

So I sang

I wasn't cool enough to be a ladie's man

It took me forever just to hold her hand

First time we kissed, she whispered: I love you

But I wasn't brave enough to say: I loved her too

So I sang: You are so beautiful to me

And I played every note to Faithfully

I loved her with everything

But I couldn't think of anything to say

So I sang

No one believed in me as much as Mama

See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar

When the angels called her home

My sister asked if I would speak

But there were no words to say how much she meant to me

So I sang: It is well with my soul

And I played: I'm so tired of being alone

'Cause those were Mama's favorite songs

And what I felt would take too long to say

So I sang

Yes, I sang

So I sang
