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
