Em            A               D            D/C#      Bm

Em                  A                            D            D/C#       Bm
The Lord threw no signs that day. It seemed that no one would take me at all.
 G               A           Bm
Then I saw the light on the stage...

             Bm                 D             A              Bm
And I said, "Sing with me, oh, sing with me. Sing all night long.
                           D                 A                Bm   D  A  Bm
And hold me close til the mornin' sun comes searchin' for the dawn."

Bm                         A              G                    D
I hitched my way back to Houston where I knew that I'd find a home.
Bm                     A                G                        D
My mother claimed 'no vancany' in this new house that I'd never known.
Em               A                       D         D/C#         Bm     
I found myself astray, all alone, caught up in the midst of my pain.
Em                                    D                 D/C#       Bm
In the howling winds of the night, I swore someone was calling my name.
 G                         A           Bm
I turned just to see the light on the stage...

             Bm                 D             A              Bm
And I said, "Sing with me, oh, sing with me. Sing all night long.
                           D                 A                  Bm   D  A  Bm
Then hold me close til the mornin' sun comes searchin' for the dawn."

Bm               A                 G                     D
I took my last doller, made some change and I called a friend.
Bm                    A                           G               D
He said, "That's no problem, pal. You know we've love to take you in."
Em                A                          D             D/C#   Bm
So he helped me through my trial, with some peace from the Lord above.
Em                    A                    D             D/C#         Bm
Next thing I know I'm on the stage doing everything that I've dreamed of.
 G                A                      Bm
Now it seems that I am the light on the stage...
 G                A                        Bm
Now it seems that we are the lights on the stage.

             Bm                 D             A              Bm
And I said, "Sing with me, oh, sing with me. Sing all night long.

Then hold me close til the mornin' sun comes searchin' for the dawn."
             Bm                 D             A              Bm
And I said, "Sing with me, oh, sing with me. Sing all night long.
                           D                 A                  Bm   D  A  Bm
