"How I Discovered Michael Ball"

by some of Michael's fans

 

I listened to a lot of songs

And saw a lot of shows

I looked through all our CDs

Even tried the radio

 

I'm not sure what I was looking for

Something others seemed to lack

  A singer that could really sing

An actor who could act

 

And then one starry night

Much to my surprise

The one that I was looking for

Was there before my eyes

 

One place I hadn't thought of

A place I rarely go

Was right there all along

It was a TV Show

 

The songs were quite familiar

I knew them from "Les Miz"

And the one that I was looking for

That voice was surely his

 

Marius turned out to be

Someone named Michael Ball

That voice seemed so familiar

And I hurried down the hall

 

I looked among some videos

I had purchased long ago

I remembered having heard someone

Oh where did that tape go?

 

And when I finally found it

There indeed was the same man

It was something I had gotten

For a Michael Crawford fan

 

There among the film clips

The first time I'd heard him sing

Was a song I still love listening to

Called "Love Changes Everything"

 

Whenever I had mentioned him

No one ever seemed to know

Just who this actor/singer was

Who I'd heard on the video

 

Now suddenly my quest was over

I had found the voice at last

The actor/singer who I'd heard

In a long ago time past

 

And that is my long story

Of finding Michael Ball

He was only a few steps away

In a video case in the hall!
