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
