Sunday School To Broadway Lyrics - Anne Murray

Oh she used to stand and clap her hands and sing Amazing Grace 

While the tears of childhood innocence were streaming down her face 

Mama prayed at night and raised her right and thought she knew her way 

But it's a long long way from Sunday School to where she's at today 

It's a long long way from Sunday School to Broadway 

She's a long way from the girl she used to be 

When you sing the city songs it's hard to find your way back home 

And it's a long long way from Sunday School to Broa-oa-oadway 

Sunday evenings spent in the gospel tent down on her bended knee 

Where she gave her soul to Jesus and he set her spirit free 

But her body longed for city life and she couldn't stay at home 

And it's a long long way from Sunday School to New York nights alone

It's a long long way from Sunday School to Broadway 

She's a long way from the girl she used to be 

When you sing the city songs it's hard to find your way back home 

And it's a long long way from Sunday School to Broa-oa-oadway 

Then her eyes grew bright in the cool dark night and a halo framed her face 

And a passer-by swore he heard her cry, can you hear Amazing Gra-ace 

Did you see the man who took her life as she walked the New York streets 

And it's a long long way from Broadway till the place at the Master's feet

When you sing the city songs it's hard to find you
