lyrics

Paint a little picture and plant it in your mind
Then tell me what you see, tell me what you find
A window on your feelings, reflection of your soul
Do the images remain, do the colours come and go?

But still we keep on seeing things we never knew were there
Kaleidoscope of visions that will never stay the same
The images will fade but still those memories remain
And all our lives, they’ll feel the same

But a melody can haunt you, wherever you may be
Through everything you do and everything you see
Can heighten your emotions, captivate your mind
Encapsulate your soul, the spirit that’s inside

And somehow it relates to you yet never knows your name
And all at once it touches you then lingers in your brain
The images will fade but still those melodies remain
And all your life they’ll feel the same

The music comes and lifts you up and down again
The meaning will prevail without a word, and then
It spirits you away ‘til you’re no longer there
And no one can say, could ever explain
The way it moves

I’m crying out to reach you with everything I say
And nothing’s getting through but I say it anyway
Then I play a little number when I’ve nothing else to do
And I drift away and dream that I’m singing it for you

We’re overcome with feelings like we’ve never known before
The music creeps inside and then you feel it even more
Transcending any barrier, unlocking every door
And all at once, I need you more

A minor chord can lift you up and down again
Stealing you away with every word, and then
Awakening the thoughts we’d never known were there
And all our life, we’ll feel the same

The music comes and lifts you up and down again
The meaning will prevail without a word, and then
It spirits you away ‘til you’re no longer there
And no one can say, could ever explain
The way it moves, the way it moves, the way it moves
