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
