I am a singer, I work at night
I stand in front of you
And hold my notes up to the light
I tune up all my secrets
And hang them on my voice
I have no other talents
I have no other choice
I am a singer

I do the ballads, I do the blues
You know no matter what
I got a song for you to use
I step inside my feelings
And spread my story out
And when the chorus calls me
It proves without a doubt
I am a singer

I remember every melody
That ever passed my way
From last night's solo concert
To my part in a highschool play
I remember every songbook
I lived thru' page by page
And how I came to love you
Once you left me on the stage

I am a singer, I sing your songs
I bring the words to life
And keep the beat
Where it belongs
I work for your attention
And wait for your applause
You have me by my music
And I need your love because
I am a singer
I am a singer      
I am a singer
