JENNY LIND
Author(s): Brother Sun
Songbook: Unpubbed Other
KeyWords: Family Characters,

Jenny was a famous Swedish nightingale
Considered in her day to be one of the greats
And yet it can be read that her music teacher said,
"Jenny, you're lacking just one thing". She said,
"What could it be, I am ready can't you see,
I have talent and I practice all day long".
He said, "Yes, I know it's so, but there's one thing you should know,
Come closer dear, let me whisper in your ear"

Chorus One:
You've got everything it takes to make a star,
But first you've got to have a broken heart,
To sing a song that is real,
A song that you can feel way down in your soul

Well, Jenny fell in love with her music teacher friend,
And it looked as though their love would never end,
But then there came the day, and he had to go away
And her heart was broken and her tears began to flow,
Jenny wept upon her bed, she remembered what he said
And now the words he spoke seemed to come alive,
Somehow he seemed to know, someday he'd have to go
And only then could the nightingale fly

[Repeat Chorus One]

Bridge:
Jenny's songs became her very own heart cry,
Not just a word collection but a very true expression

Chorus Two:
You may have everything it takes to make a star,
But first you've got to have a broken heart,
To sing a song that is real,
A song that you can feel way down in your soul

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
