If It Wasn't for a Song
Lyrics
VERSE: Sunday morning singing
Ringing through the streets
An old man without a place to go
And nothing left to eat
Stumbles in that stained glass chapel
Cause an old hymn caught his ear
Brought his bottle to the alter
Left it laying right there
Just as I am, he sang along
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
CHORUS: Yeah, there'd be no good reason
For us to sing along
No Friday night marching band
Cheering the home team on
That first dance, that first kiss
Just wouldn't last as long
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
VERSE: There's a melody for everything
A heart could ever feel
Like the sound of a midnight train
Or a lonesome whippoorwill
There's music in the background
Of every memory
And if it ever died out
Tell me, who would sing for me?
Left or right, right or wrong
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
CHORUS: Yeah, there'd be no good reason
For us to sing along
No Friday night marching band
Cheering the home team on
That first dance, that first kiss
Just wouldn't be as strong
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
That first dance, that first kiss
Just wouldn't last as long
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
VERSE: Sunday morning singing
Ringing through the streets
An old man without a place to go
And nothing left to eat
Stumbles in that stained glass chapel
Cause an old hymn caught his ear
Brought his bottle to the alter
Left it laying right there
Just as I am, he sang along
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
CHORUS: Yeah, there'd be no good reason
For us to sing along
No Friday night marching band
Cheering the home team on
That first dance, that first kiss
Just wouldn't last as long
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
VERSE: There's a melody for everything
A heart could ever feel
Like the sound of a midnight train
Or a lonesome whippoorwill
There's music in the background
Of every memory
And if it ever died out
Tell me, who would sing for me?
Left or right, right or wrong
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
CHORUS: Yeah, there'd be no good reason
For us to sing along
No Friday night marching band
Cheering the home team on
That first dance, that first kiss
Just wouldn't be as strong
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
That first dance, that first kiss
Just wouldn't last as long
Where would the world be
If it wasn't for a song
