i took the train from port henry to downtown montreal
i took the subway from downtown to here
i took the front steps to the front porch
and sat myself down
now i'm sitting
and waiting
here


i got my toothbrush i got my backpack
i got my new guitar
i got a head full of stories to tell
i got a hundred new families and a million new friends
i got everything, everything
and more


chorus:
there's the girl with the beautiful voice
and the boy with the beautiful smile
and the song that we sang all night
beautiful enough to wake up the sun


i got a dozen pink roses from a man in burlington
he was sitting and listening to me play
i said thanks for the flowers
i guess i'll see ya later
and i left him sitting there


chorus


today i got a letter from the girl with the voice
she said i had inspired her to sing
well she was singing on paper and it made me so happy
to be sitting and listening to her


chorus
