When I First Saw Her

I remember when I first saw her Up there on the stage Although she was so young She was matured beyond her age The words flowed out so effortlessly Like rivers rushing to the sea I sat there in total silence For I felt she was singing to only me She described what I was feeling But yet, we'd never met But it seems the more she sang Deeper inside of me she'd get She sang about my childhood My past pains rang loud and clear The more that she kept singing The more I could feel my tears Her voice so soft and soothing Her words came out in thyme And for a magic evening She took me back in time But I guess what I had realized As I sat there listening that night Is that so many peoples past Though bad, THEY still turned out all right
