Words and Music by Scott Reed

She was the sweetest little blond-haired girl
With music in her heart
When she smiled you'd see the sun come up
And in her eyes the light of life
But as she grew the rain began to fall
And the light began to dim
Oh Jesus did you turn and walk away
Did you forget that little girl

She asked for signs and miracles
To see the writing on the wall
She listened for the thunder, and in the middle of it all

Then you sing, with a voice of sweet assurance
With hope and loving tenderness
You still my heart with songs
How am I so honored to hear the music of you father
Even though at times I can not see
When my life has lost its melody
That's when you sing to me
That’s when you sing, you sing to me

My life is like that blond-haired girl
I'm blinded by my fears
I pray, my God, don't hide your face from me
Come and wipe away the tears

Cause I ask for signs and miracles
To see the writing on the wall
I listened for the thunder, and in the middle of it all...
