I remember what Ray Charles said, in his softest southern accent I remember what Ray Charles said, just before he went to bed And he would sing for us again The song for all the lonely men The sweetest tune you've ever heard Comes from the soul without a word And someone else has made their choice The nightingale got back his voice Now I know how Johnny Cash felt, in the wilderness in Tulsa Now I know how Johnny Cash felt, just before he went to bed And he would sing for us again The song for all the lonely men The sweetest tune you've ever heard Comes from the soul without a word And someone else has made their choice The nightingale got back his voice And he would sing for us again The song for all the lonely men And he would sing for evermore The song for all who were unsure The sweetest tune you've ever heard Comes from the soul without a word And someone else has made their choice The nightingale got back his voice.....
