By the sand and fire light
While watching the fallin` star
Came a lady from the night
Who started playin` on my guitar
She was like a melody
That no one had ever heard
When she sang her magic song
I had to listen to every word
But she made me see
Like I never had before
Don`t you know she set me free
Like I never been before
Don`t you know the girl could sing
And I thought of what the future would bring
By the stars and fire light
The music was sweet and clear
Though I had her to myself
I was afraid someone else would hear
Soon the other heard her playin`
Started to gather round
One by one they started stayin`
`Cause they couldn`t believe the sound
And she made them see
Like they never had before
Don`t you know she set them free
Like they`d never been before
Don`t you know the girl could sing
And I thought of what the future would bring
I see her every now and then
In movies and on T.V.
Wonder as I sit there watchin`
If she ever thinks of me
By the sand and fire light
(oooooooooooooo)
Before she became a star
(ooooo just a melody)
She was just a melody
When she was playin` on my guitar
Playin` on my g...playin` on my g...playin` on my guitar
