Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

Jerry Walker

In a house, I'd lay upstairs,
And of how I'd live someday
Downstairs sat, a man who had
A he never learned to play

For my thirteenth birthday, grandma bought the
me I should learn how to play
And the gift she gave me me
'Cause the music is the thing,
That got me to this point here

And I was lucky, I used her gift
To get in touch how to live
And looking back I now realize, changed my life

out of school, I had no clue
Of it was I'd like to do
I only know, the open
Was the way I chose to on through

I took that guitar with me, down the lonesome
And I began my for a song
And in the distance, the music and the mystery
Of how I would live come

(Last line different)
That music saved my life, music became my

As time went by, I found I
climb up on the stage and sing
But when I sang, the I wrote
It became a very special

But songs to me were
And the side just killed me
And I inside my shell
the contracts and the lawsuits
I heavy drinking,
'Til I finally touch with myself

I guess playing music for brought problems
I didn't face very well
Being self-taught gave me nothing to on
I had to in myself

I took a year off and did some
to clean the cobwebs out
And I went to Grandma's guitar
Just to hear a sound

When I look around me, I saw my loving
And a we had built on a hill
I the music had led me to the one place
Where my heart and are re-filled

Music saved my life, yeah, really saved my life
Yes, music really my life
