So I Sang - Darius Rucker

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
