Selena lyrics

Artist  : Tony Joe White 
Song : Selena



 Send "Selena" Ringtone to your Cell 

 The evening falls on Padre Island

Something is wrong, the birds don't fly

They sit quietly in the sand dunes

And watch the sky



They seem to know someone is missing

Even the ocean settles down

They've wait patiently since sunrise

But she don't come around



Selena, they cry

Without your smile, none of us can fly

Selena, this can't be true

It's gonna be a lonely world without you



There is no one here on this good earth

Who cannot hear the laughter in your song

You made us dance when hearts were heavy

And our feet were made of stone



Time goes by, there is no answer

It's hard to think this moment ever came

So many bow their heads in silence

It don't stop the pain, no



Selena, they pray

How could something such as this take you
away?

Selena, you were the one

Just when we think it's all over

Maybe it's just begun



Selena, so full of life

You never had a chance to say goodbye

But it will be whispered now and then

And your name will last forever

Riding on the Corpus Cristi wind



Selena, they pray

Selena, they cry
