Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

Jerry Walker

In a house, I'd lay upstairs,
And dream of how I'd someday
Downstairs sat, a man who had
A guitar he never 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,
got me to this point here today

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

Just out of school, I had no
Of it was I'd like to do
I know, the open road
Was the way I to pass on through

I took that guitar with me, the lonesome highway
And I began my search for a
And somewhere in the distance, the music and the
Of how I would live along

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

As time by, I found that I
Could climb up on the stage and
But when I sang, the songs I
It became a special thing

But to me were personal
And the business side just me
And I withdrew inside my
With the contracts and the
I heavy drinking,
'Til I finally lost touch with

I guess playing music for money problems
That I didn't very well
self-taught gave me nothing to lean on
I had to look in

I a year off and did some fasting
Just to clean the out
And I back to Grandma's guitar
to hear a simple sound

When I look me, I saw my loving family
And a home we had 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
