Mary Lee Kortes - The Music Got Me Here

I recall in days of old 
When my grandma said to me
You can travel far and wide
If you learn your do re mi's
 
You might play the hall of Carnegie
Or the Paris stage one day
When biographers ask you
How you reached the top you'll say
 
            The music got me here
            The music got me here
            Just put your hand across your heart
            And say the music got me here
 
Out in New York City
I found the place they call Broadway
People came from everywhere
Just to hear them sing and play
 
I let go the hem of Auntie Em
And took the world in stride
Everybody I met asked me
How'd you get so satisfied 
And I said
 
            The music got me here
            I say the music got me here
            I put my hand across my heart
            And say the music got me here
 
I met a man from old Montan
Whose voice could calm the sea
Each whisper told a story
Each word a symphony
 
A slave to his sweet rhythm
My heart danced upon his hand
Now I got a house, three kids and
A great big wedding band
And I say
 
            The music got me here
            I said the music got me here
            I put my hand across my heart
            And said the music got me hereThe
