Bobby Bare Lyrics for Song: Sing for the Song
 Lyrics for Album: Bare [Columbia] [1978]
 
 
 
 19829>(Shel Silverstein)
 
 
 
 Sometimes you sing for the money
 
 Sometimes you sing for the show
 
 Sometimes you sing for the dewy eyed darlings
 
 Still makes them cry don't you know.
 
 
 
 Sometimes you sing for the glory
 
 But glory don't last very long
 
 And through the haze of the stage
 
 Can you look back to days
 
 When you used to sing for the song?
 
 
 
 Sing for the song boy just like you did
 
 When you stood on that corner
 
 And didn't even feel the glow
 
 Sing for the song boy just like you did
 
 Before all of the flash bulbs
 
 And cocaine and bright things
 
 And ladies got hold of your soul.
 
 
 
 But you really don't make too much money
 
 And you don't give much of a show
 
 And them dewy eyed darling next week will be crying
 
 For somebody else don't you know
 
 But the music's become your burden
 
 And the words all sound twisted and wrong
 
 And the hits that you sell don't taste quite as well
 
 As when you used to sing for the song.
 
 
 
 Sing for the song boy just like you did
 
 When you stood on that corner
 
 And didn't even feel the glow
 
 Sing for the song boy just like you did
 
 Before all of the flash bulbs
 
 And cocaine and bright things
 
 And ladies got hold of your soul.
 
 
 
 Sing for the song boy just like you did
 
 When you stood on that corner
 
 And didn't even feel the glow
 
 Sing for the song boy just like you did
 
 Before all of the flash bulbs
 
 And cocaine and bright things
 
 And ladies got hold of your soul.
 
 
 
 Sing for the song...
