Her name was Stella, and she was old and gray
She had rusty strings and keys
And to tune her it took a pair of pliers
And lots of elbow grease
She awakened me to the melody
Like the light from a brand new dawn
From that moment on
It was all for the sake of the song
Her name was Maggie, she had eyes like fire
That burned for me in the dark
All she wanted was my very soul
And all she could take from my heart
But to her dismay a choice was made
And when that deed was done
She turned and I was gone
It was all for the sake of the song
And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road
For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold
Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know
I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song
Her name was Laura, and she was pure like crystal
Shinin' alone on the shelf
And from the moment that her eyes met mine
I knew there could be nobody else
Kindred souls singin? free in perfect harmony
Two hearts beat now as one
The road goes on and on
And it?s all for the sake of the song
And for the sake of the song, I walked my own road
For the sake of the song, not for silver and gold
Some may think I?m wrong, but in my heart I know
I?ve known all along, it was all for the sake of the song
Her name is Stella
