But music was his life, it was not his livelihood,
4602
And it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good
4603
And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul
(shouldn’t someone in here be including “O Holy Night” in the parentheticals?)
4604
And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul
(O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining)
4605
He did not know how well he sang; It just made him whole.
4606
His friends kept working on him to try music out full time
4607
A big debut and rave reviews, a great career to climb.
4608
Finally they got to him, he would take the fling
4609
A concert agent in New York agreed to have him sing.
4610
And there were plane tickets, phone calls, money spent to rent the hall
4611
It took most of his savings but he gladly used them all
4612
But music was his life, it was not his livelihood
4613
And it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good
4614
And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul
4615
He did not know how well he sang, it just made him whole
4616
His friends kept working on him to try music out full time.
4617
The evening came, he took the stage, his face set in a smile
[Just putting us back on track–we did that verse.]
4618
And in the half filled hall the critics sat watching on the aisle.
4619
But the concert was a blur to him, spatters of applause
4620
He did not know how well he sang, he only heard the flaws.
