Jack Stafford - A Song About Singing Lyrics

I'd been driving for years
Lost in foreign lands
Searching for answers
Some guiding hands

I'd gone cross country
Even lost the road
I was given directions
By people, far gone themselves

But it was in my darkest hour
That I heard her name
Whispered on the wind
And I was guided to a place

The parking lot was packed
the queue went round the block
But a desperate man won't be denied
I found a window unlocked

I climbed into her chamber
And poured out my heart
Of how I'd lost my voice somewhere
She watched me in the dark

"Your problems obvious
You've forced your tone
Singing should be an effortless thing
Leave well alone"

After an hour together
I felt changes deep inside
And I walked out the door two inches taller
With words to reach the sky

And I could sing sing sing
Such a pure and simple thing
Go within
And let it ring

Yes I could sing sing sing
A recrowned king
I went within
And let it ring

Her technique was simple
As light as love
An iron fist
Inside a velvet glove

She took away the parts
That were not me
Like Michaelangelo
Had done for David

With balanced tone
The right vibrations
Like a type rope walker
I had bold and new sensations

And I could sing sing sing
Such a pure and simple thing
Go within
And let it ring

Yes I could sing sing sing
A recrowned king
I went within
And let it ring
