A Song for You

She wakes up in the morning

tosses and turns while she rubs her eyes

The sun is shining on her face

through the window pane so bright

There’s no telling what this day will bring

but she awakes with a smile in the presence of her King

And she sings…

“I wanna sing a song for you

I wanna make every line a melody so true

I wanna sing a song for you

cuz you gave me this voice and singing is what I do

oh, ohhhh, a song for you”

With a few steps out of bed she pours a cup of ‘Joe

and gets herself dressed from head to toe

With one last glance in the mirror she heads out the door

“here we go,” she says with a smile and on her way she goes

She stares up at the pale blue sky

and whispers, “if you’re listening I hope this one makes you smile,”

“I wanna sing a song for you

I wanna make every line a melody so true

I wanna sing a song for you

cuz you gave me this voice and singing is what I do

oh, ohhhh, a song for you”

She never would have guessed it that this very day

would be the last one of this earth before her heart gave way

A sudden accident and in an instant she was lifeless and cold

but when she opened her eyes again, her King, she could behold.

And she smiled said…

I wanna sing a song for you

I wanna make every line a melody so true

I wanna sing a song for you

cuz you gave me this voice and singing is what I do

oh, ohhhh, a song for you
