So long Selena, girl you had it all
and your life was only just beginning.
And when the tears are gone
don't you know we'll still have this song?
Melody, lady, don't die.
Turn off the radio down in San Antone
I can't take this silence anymore.
She was only 23 years old
and now she's heading down alone.

I can hear a voice singing
and it's singing something holy.
When I'm feeling a warning
I'll take a breath, and sing it slowly.

I see things everyday that make me sad
make me afraid.
Something tells me we must carry on.
Lately I've been so alone, wired out
but I'm not stoned.
I just need the music playin, the music
playing on.

So long Selena, girl you had it all.
And your life was only just beginning now.
And when the tears are gone don't you
know we'll still have this song?
And we'll sing it down the road.

I can hear, I can hear a voice singing
and it's singing something holy.
When I'm feeling a warning
take a breath and sing it slowly.

Yes can you hear, can you feel it?
Gonna take a breath and sing it slowly.
Sing it out
Sing it out
Sing it out
Gonna take a breath and sing it out
slowly
