about

written by Abbey Lincoln

lyrics

Learning how to listen
how to hear a melody
how to hear the song I'm singing
how to breathe and let it be
and listen to the song
knowing how it goes
and listen for the melody that flows

Music is a lover
with shining golden wings
that whispers in the lovers' ears
and dances when it sings
it sings in variation
on an everlasting theme
it's either love or sorrow on the scene

Learning how to listen
how to holler, sing the blues
and I'm learning how to rise above
and wear somebody's shoes
I'm learning how to listen
for this song was given me
I'm learning how to listen
and I'm learning how to listen
and I'm learning how to listen and be free

You definitely want to hear this girl sing... if you can handle it. ... more
