A Melody of Being Here

[Verse 1] Snow keeps softening the avenue outside While the quartet settles into something slow At the little blue room, tables close and low You lean toward the band when the first notes glide [Pre-Chorus] I catch your nod across the candlelit floor You give a little more, i find a little more [Chorus] You make a melody out of being here A dozen quiet hearts, and suddenly it's clear I bend the tune, you send it back to me Tonight this room is where we both get free So stay with me, right where the phrases turn You give the song its warmth; i give it room to burn [Verse 2] A silver-haired couple taps a gentle time A student in the corner mouths the refrain The bartender forgets to wipe a glass As the bass walks easy and the hours pass [Pre-Chorus] I leave a little space, you fill it with a smile The tune keeps finding somewhere new to land awhile [Chorus] You make a melody out of being here A dozen quiet hearts, and suddenly it's clear I bend the tune, you send it back to me Tonight this room is where we both get free So stay with me, right where the phrases turn You give the song its warmth; i give it room to burn [Bridge] No two nights can hold the same blue note No two rooms can send it back this way When the last chord loosens from its mooring I'll remember how you helped it find its way [Final chorus] You make a melody out of being here A dozen quiet hearts, and suddenly it's clear I bend the tune, you send it back to me Tonight this room is where we both get free So stay with me, right where the phrases turn You give the song its warmth; i give it room to burn [Outro] One more phrase, then let the good night start You take the tune along; i keep the part you gave my heart
