THE SINGER SANG V Picking the melody, living the words He still loves her though he's been hurt From the first note to the end leaving me hoping he'd sing that song again V Showing his pain with every line but making the song feel it could be mine Though I know he don't know me for sure I could tell he'd loved and had lost before.
C He sang his song then moved on left it forgotten for some other one Fillied my mind, so it became my own As if the singer sang for me alone
V I wish she could have been here tonight maybe it'd put what was wrong right A song we too could have called our own for an encore please sing, A love set in stone
Music
B Then she was there across the room I fought through the crowd as he sang our tune Then the house lights came on, but there was no one there. another night, another dream with no one to share Chorus

Hey Travis RARELY visit the LYRIC section, but I remember reading a writing in the early 80's about "The Singer Sang His Song"...So your TITLE drew me
Maybe on the last line on the LAST VERSE you should mention for the encore either "her song", or "our song", or make up a TITLE of a song like as follows
For an encore, please will you sing "You, & You Alone"...Or something like that...you used alone in the CHORUS so maybe not...
For an encore, please will you sing "Everything I own"...shoot that is the same word in the prior line...
But you get my drift.
I never come here to crit. LYRICS only so take it in the spirit it is given

Hi Travis, don't shoot me, and KOS, but I'm doing a little rewrite" He Sang For Me Alone V Picking the melody, living the words He still loves her though he's been hurt From the first note right to the end leaving me hoping he'd sing it again V Showing his pain with every line but making the song feel it could be mine Though I know he don't know me for sure I could tell he'd loved and lost before.
C He sang his song then moved on left it forgotten for some other one Always on my mind, becoming my own As if he sang for me alone Killing me softly with every tone As if he sang for me alone
V I wish she could have been here tonight maybe it'd put what was wrong right A song we too could have called our own for an encore please sing, A love set in stone

B Then she was there across the room I fought through the crowd as he sang our tune Then the house lights came on no one was there another night, another dream with no one to share Chorus Travis & John, Funny John that you did the re-write & put "Killing me softly"... When I first read these LYRICS I thought this song was the Grandson of "Killing me softly"... The writer of that song used many of the same sentiments of this song in such a unique way. It made me realize that the TITLE of "Killing me softly" really is another way of saying your TITLE "The Singer Sang"...
