Measures & Scales
Lyricist:Gillian Grace Barber
He plays piano in a jazz band And I love him for the man that he could be I asked him, if I let you, would you play me? Then delighted as he tickled every key
He could feel the ivory skin beneath his finger tips And I would watch the notes fall one by one from his lips And he would snap his fingers to the beat of my heart But he couldn't feel the heat And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song Where the music fades away before the love can go wrong
I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes I still dream in color even though I sing the blues He is playing scales up and down me As we sing our tales of hope in perfect harmony And measure out our love by the length of the song Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
But it disappears somewhere when the music is done Every song ever written has a final note And I sign my name alone every letter that I wrote And lovers who part give a final kiss Now I know it's not the player but the music that I miss
He plays piano in a jazz band And I love him for the man that he could be I asked him, if I let you, would you play me A song that would play forever on?
I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes I still dream in color even though I sing the blues And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song Where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong
