Luyện nghe bài hát Leslie Is Different

The neighbor up the road the message
Joe and May had a phone
Five children grown and gone to
Now they out on Pewaukee Lake alone
And the nurse at the big hospital
Said "We've got a baby with no eyes
It's retarded, got cerebral palsy
Six months old only to die
And we the tiny Englishwoman
to hire out as a nurse-governess
May Lemke, will you take this broken off our hands?"
And God loves a fool she said yes. She said:

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

And to him as if he really heard
And he with the sun and affection
Though his body was spindly and
And a hundred times they stood him with his hands the fence
And a times watched him fall
And their warned it was useless

And sing the old from the war
There was always on the radio
And the she bought at the store
And sometimes they he was listening

Maybe he was lost in a
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 of music broke the night
Joe's asleep at the TV again
May reached over to on the light
But the music kept louder
And the TV was quiet and
was playing the piano
And his fingers were agile and
A piano concerto
Like water over a dam
A river of ecstasy flowed his hands
And each note cried out, "I am."
