The Song Is You
Harmony of Hearts: Wynton Marsalis' Enchanting Ode to Love and Spring
Lyrics
I hear music when I look at you,
I perceive a musical sensation when I gaze at you,
A beautiful theme of every
A delightful melody representing every
Dream I ever knew.
Dream I've ever experienced.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
Deep within my heart, I sense this music playing.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I sense it commencing, then gradually fading away.
I hear music when I touch your hand,
I experience a musical sensation when I make contact with your hand,
A beautiful melody
A beautiful, enchanting melody
From some enchanted land.
From a mystical land.
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Deep within my heart, I hear it expressing,
Is this the day?
Could this be the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I am the sole listener of this lovely melody,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
I am the only one hearing this joyful chorus:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Must it remain eternally within me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why am I unable to release it,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I make you aware,
Why can't I let you know the song
Why can't I share with you the song
My heart would sing?
That my heart wishes to sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
That beautiful composition
Of love and youth and spring,
Of love, youth, and spring,
The music is sweet,
The music is melodious,
The words are true
The words are sincere
The song is you.
The song is a representation of you.
