Darius Rucker So I Sang

AlphabetLyrics.com

I never was the biggest or the fastest guy
I never hit a homerun when the game was tied
I knew from an early age I wasn't going to be
A doctor or the ceo of anything.

So I sang, 'she believes in me'
And I played, 'fire on the mountain'
'til I made my fingers bleed
I tried to stand out from the crowd
But most times I just struck out at the plate
So I sang.

I wasn't cool enough to be a ladies man
It took me forever just to hold her hand
First time we kissed, she whispered, I love you
But I wasn't brave enough to say, I loved her too.

So I sang, 'you are so beautiful to me'
And I played every note to 'faithfully'
I loved her with everything
But I couldn't think of anything to say
So I sang.

No one believed in me as much as mom
See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar
When the angels called her home
My sister asked if I would speak
But there were no words to say how much she meant to me.

So I sang, 'It is well with my soul'
And I played, 'I'm so tired of being alone'
'cause those were mama's favorite songs
And what I felt would take too long to say
So I sang
Yes, I sang
So I sang.
