So long Selena, girl you had it all

and your life was only just beginning.

And when the tears are gone

don't you know we'll still have this song?

Melody, lady, don't die.

Turn off the radio down in San Antone

I can't take this silence anymore.

She was only 23 years old

and now she's heading down alone.



I can hear a voice singing

and it's singing something holy.

When I'm feeling a warning

I'll take a breath, and sing it slowly.



I see things everyday that make me sad

make me afraid.

Something tells me we must carry on.

Lately I've been so alone, wired out

but I'm not stoned.

I just need the music playin, the music

playing on.



So long Selena, girl you had it all.

And your life was only just beginning now.

And when the tears are gone don't you

know we'll still have this song?

And we'll sing it down the road.



I can hear, I can hear a voice singing

and it's singing something holy.

When I'm feeling a warning

take a breath and sing it slowly.



Yes can you hear, can you feel it?

Gonna take a breath and sing it slowly.

Sing it out

Sing it out

Sing it out

Gonna take a breath and sing it out

slowly.
