Intro

Her name was Stella, and she was old and gray

She had rusty strings and keys

And to tune her it took a pair of pliers

And lots of elbow grease

She awakened me to the melody

Like the light from a brand new dawn

From that moment on

It was all for the sake of the song

Her name was Maggie, she had eyes like fire

That burned for me in the dark

All she wanted was my very soul

And all she could take from my heart

But to her dismay a choice was made

And when that deed was done

She turned and I was gone

It was all for the sake of the song

And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road

For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold

Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know

I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song

Her name was Laura, and she was pure like crystal

Shinin' alone on the shelf

And from the moment that her eyes met mine

I knew there could be nobody else

Kindred souls singin? free in perfect harmony

Two hearts beat now as one

The road goes on and on

And it?s all for the sake of the song

And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road

For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold

Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know

I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song

Her name is Stella
