Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

Jerry Walker

In a house, I'd lay upstairs,
And dream of how I'd someday
there sat, a man who had
A guitar he learned to play

For my thirteenth birthday, bought the guitar
Told me I should learn how to
And the gift she me changed me
'Cause the music is the thing,
That got me to point here today

And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift
To get in with how to live
And back I now realize, music 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 me, down the lonesome highway
And I began my search for a
And somewhere in the distance, the music and the
Of how I would come along

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

As went by, I found that I
climb up on the stage and sing
But I sang, the songs I wrote
It a very special thing

But songs to me personal
And the business just killed me
And I inside my shell
With the contracts and the
I heavy drinking,
'Til I finally lost touch with

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

I took a year off and did some
Just to the cobwebs out
And I went back to guitar
Just to hear a sound

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

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