Verse
Radio up, coffee to go
Rolling right down to Music Row
Writers walking in, guitars starting to play
Just another Music City day

Pre-Chorus
By noon the news was rolling through
And every room was playing you

Chorus
You showed us how to wear our scars
Dress ’em up in rhinestones and stars
Lookin’ like that, always stole the show
Big hair, high heels, and ready to go
You left us more than words could say
The world lost some sparkle that day

Verse
Music Row ain't built nine to five
By happy hour, Broadway's alive
All the bands in town were playing every songs
Every crowd was singing right along

Pre-Chorus
Your picture hangs in every bar
Raise one up to our favorite star

Chorus
Quick with a joke and sharp with a line
Made being yourself look just mighty fine
Proving it when all was said and done
To us, you’re still the only one
You left us more than words could say
The world lost some sparkle that day

Bridge
We thought that light was gone for all time
Then we saw how far that sparkle could shine
You could feel what you left behind
More than music, truly one of a kind

Chorus
You gave us more than songs to know
You gave this town a brighter glow
And if there’s one thing we know rings true
And we will always, always love you
You left us more than words could say
The world lost some sparkle that day

Outro
From above, that sparkle still shines today
