And the last song of the night comes on,
and she hears the ever familiar words...

You see all the scribbles, all the scratchouts
that scatter throught this page...

Stand up straight,
get good grades...

Can't you see she's been breaking up inside...
can't you see that the smile that she always had...

Hey there, stranger,
how have you been doing lately...

I open my eyes
from yet another hellish nightmare...

I hear your laugh in the whisper of the wind
I hear your voice in the silence of the night...

Somebody shake me,
pinch me...

Everything's a faded grey,
there's a silence that I\'ve never heard before...

I stare at a blank paper.
It's waiting for the words to spill out...

Once upon a time
there was a little girl...

I close my eyes
and I hear your voice...
