Luyện nghe bài hát Leslie Is Different

The neighbor up the road the message
Joe and May had a phone
Five children and gone to college
Now they lived out on Pewaukee alone
And the nurse at the big Milwaukee
Said "We've got a baby here no eyes
It's retarded, it's got palsy
Six old living only to die
And we remembered the Englishwoman
Used to hire out as a
May Lemke, will you take this child off our hands?"
And God a fool 'cause she said yes. She said:

Leslie is
Like everyone in the
He's kind of awkward, he's kind of
Kind of graceful, kind of
He's kind of slow, he's kind of
He's just Leslie and enough.
He lay there helpless and silent
Not a tear, not a smile, not a

And talked to him as if he really
And he grew the sun and affection
Though his body was and small
And a hundred times they stood him with his hands the fence
And a hundred times him fall
And daughters warned it was useless
said, "Mama, that boy will break your heart."
She said, "Love never comes
And miracles come hard." She said:

And the records she at the store
And sometimes they he was listening

Maybe he was in a forest
Where and woodspirits dwell
But for sixteen years he had never a word
Never taken one step for himself. But they

Along three in the morning
A ripple of music broke the
Joe's fallen asleep at the TV
May reached over to on the light
But the music kept getting
And the TV was quiet and
was playing the piano
And his fingers were agile and
A piano concerto
Like water breaking a dam
A river of ecstasy through his hands
And each note cried out, "I am."
