A Girl and a Guitar
She stood all alone in the spotlight
Just a girl and her guitar
Though she was only the warm up act
She deserved to be the star
She stood there and played and sang
With a voice so pure and clear
Songs of love and songs of loss
Sweet music to my ear
Some of her songs were ages old
But she made them seem quite new
Her voice and her music filled the room
The notes just soared and flew
Some songs she sang made us laugh
Some brought a tear to the eye
Some made us want to sing along
Some just made us sigh
She sang us gentle songs of love
Songs of peace and war
She held us all right through to the end
Then we all yelled for more
She may have been just starting out
But I think that she'll go far
I will always remember her
Just a girl and a guitar
