Verse

Chorus

3x then

Bridge

Burried deap beneath her pile of books and delicate features

A little light shines and her soul it wants sing

But she's hindered by a confidence problem born from her childhood days

A failure at a crucial time locked her songbird away

Silent encarceration masked by a smiling face

And helpful gentle eyes relieves a nagging pain

Ten o'clock it's closing time let down your hair and restraints

Turn up a little soft melacy, start sing

My aching heart is growing weak

My breaking heart cannot be

Seen to beat a single note in time with my elation

I can not be healed until I hear you sing

Formal training for decade prepared him for the worst

And under constant pressure he remembers every word

It comes after a tired struggle between his heart and his mind

And in the end somehow there just wasn't enough time

And in the morning I wake up happy

In the morning when I see your face

In the morning I wake up happy

And all this time I still feel the same

The sun sets on a Texas skyline

His head fills with the smell of pine

And the smell of burning fuel from those ahead in line

He tries to see beyond horizons

Tries not to question why

Sings at the top of his lungs to the other passers by

Well my aching heart is growing weak

My breaking heart cannot be

Seen to beat a single note in time with my elation

I can not be healed until I hear you sing
