    Story Behind the Song
    A song for my sister who was feeling down.

    Lyrics
    Song for Laura
    words & music by Jim Ricci

    her face just lights up
    talking bout her new boy
    the next to fall victim of her charms

    he didn’t stand a chance
    I bet she had him with just one glance

    she says, “won’t you play that song for me
    the one where I sing harmony
    for that summer tale never fails to move me to tears

    and its been quite some time
    but I know the fault’s not all mine
    since I told you what’s been goin on this mind of 19 years”

    she got home just yesterday
    with six new strings she’s meant to play
    to help her find some peace of mind in a world that keeps on spinnin’

    longing for songs unknown
    asking “when will I find my own?”
    oh just let them come and I’m sure you’ll leave here grinnin’

    [ch]
    don’t cry
    dry your eyes with the sunrise on a brand new streak
    forget the empty promises the world never keeps
    all you need is all around you
    it’ll get you through


    her prescription for a smile
    rattles in a vial
    and it’s taken time to endure all the changes that it brings

    she says “I know there’s more
    than what I’m askin’ for
    cuz it seems like forever since I could smile at the little things"

    [ch]

    you may not believe it now
    but it’ll all work out somehow
    you’ll see blue sky again and you’re gonna be smilin’

    pick up your axe and play
    you’ll find your song someday
    look up at the sun and it’s gonna be shinin’
    shinin’, shinin’
    gonna shine on, shine on you

    [ch]
