Music from an open window Music, sudden and fleeting Ordinary music, in an ordinary street Why does your heart start beating? What can a song do to you? Can it waken a memory sleeping? Can it call back a day, when your heart fled away Into somebody else's keeping? What can a song do to you? Can it bring back a spring in December? Can it make, with each note, such an ache in your throat That you find you can still remember? For the past is a house full of treasure And there lies, buried deep in the storm Every smile, every tear, every pleasure And a song is the key to the door What can a song do to you? Can it kindle the flame that was dying Till it burns once again, with its joy, with its pain And your heart's of a sudden crying? Oh, I know, yes, I know, now I see What a song has done to me
I never realised there were so many verses to this song only knew the first one, thank you for giving me this new insight!
Music from an open window
Music, sudden and fleeting
Ordinary music, in an ordinary street
Why does your heart start beating?
What can a song do to you?
Can it waken a memory sleeping?
Can it call back a day, when your heart fled away
Into somebody else's keeping?
What can a song do to you?
Can it bring back a spring in December?
Can it make, with each note, such an ache in your throat
That you find you can still remember?
For the past is a house full of treasure
And there lies, buried deep in the storm
Every smile, every tear, every pleasure
And a song is the key to the door
What can a song do to you?
Can it kindle the flame that was dying
Till it burns once again, with its joy, with its pain
And your heart's of a sudden crying?
Oh, I know, yes, I know, now I see
What a song has done to me
My soul has found kind of real food. Thanks!
Beautiful!
Sublime!
