[INTRO] Mmm… sweetheart, you hear that? Funny how a little melody Can bring back a thousand beautiful things. Come here, darling… take my hand. Close those pretty eyes. I’ve got a little surprise for you. * [VERSE] There’s a melody that finds me When the evening settles in, And before the second measure, There you are, making me grin. I remember how you looked at me, That sparkle in your eyes, Like you knew a little secret That would change my whole life. I was trying to be charming, Had a hundred things to say, Then you smiled across the silence, And my words just slipped away. * [PRE-CHORUS] Isn’t it a lovely thing, What a simple smile can bring? One little glance, one sweet hello, And suddenly the whole world glows. * [CHORUS] Close your eyes, my love, Let the music take us there, Back to that first little moment, To the magic in the air. Sway a little closer, dear, Let me tell you what you do. Time can turn a thousand pages, I’d still turn them back to you. And if that song should play again, I’d fall for you like I did then. * [VERSE 2] It’s the little things about you That keep dancing through my mind, How you turn the smallest moments Into treasures I can find. Like the way you try not smiling When I tell you something sweet, Then that smile comes out regardless And knocks me off my feet. There’s a certain kind of magic In the way you say my name, Though the seasons keep on changing, That feeling stays the same. I could listen to you talking About nothing all day long, ‘Cause the ordinary sounds like music When you’re singing right along. * [PRE-CHORUS] Oh, darling, if you only knew How the little things you do Can take a day that’s nothing new And make it beautiful with you. * [CHORUS] Close your eyes, my love, Let the music take us there, Back to that first little moment, To the magic in the air. Sway a little closer, dear, Let me tell you what you do. Time can turn a thousand pages, I’d still turn them back to you. And if that song should play again, I’d fall for you like I did then. * [BRIDGE] They say the moon belongs to midnight, And the stars belong above, But I swear I saw them shining In the eyes of someone I love. And if the moon could keep a secret, I’d ask her not to tell How one smile across a room Put this boy under a spell. Not the kind you’d wish away, Just the kind that makes you say, Of all the ordinary days, I’m glad you wandered into mine. [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK – MELODIC LAP STEEL, WARM BARITONE SAX] * [VERSE] If somebody asked me, darling, What a perfect day would be, I wouldn’t need a grand occasion, Just a little time with you and me. Maybe music in the kitchen, Maybe dancing down the hall, Maybe laughing at a story That was never funny at all. You could wear your oldest sweater, Let your hair fall where it may, And I’d still look at you and wonder How you take my words away. * [PRE-CHORUS] So let the years keep passing by, Let the moon keep crossing skies. Whatever melody life plays, I’ll choose you in a thousand ways. * [CHORUS] Close your eyes, my love, Let the music take us there, Back to that first little moment, To the magic in the air. Sway a little closer, dear, Let me tell you what you do. Time can turn a thousand pages, I’d still turn them back to you. And if that song should play again, I’d fall for you like I did then. * [OUTRO] Mmm… open your eyes, sweetheart. There she is… that beautiful smile. Somewhere beneath that same old moon, A little melody brought me to you. And whenever you hear this song, Remember one little thing… Of all the beautiful moments This world could ever give me, My favorite ones will always Have you in them. Come here, my love… The song isn’t over yet. Let’s dance a little longer. [SOFT HARMONIES, LAP STEEL AND SAX FADE NATURALLY] [End]
