lyrics
Mmm If you were a song, I’d be dancing and singing along
learning the complexities of your sweet melody
A flight of chickadees will be flitting along with your song
‘Cause the rhythm of your loving-kindness is so strong.
As strange as this may seem to be
You are the only song that listens to me
maybe that is why I feel so happy;
your song's in the key of empathy.
If you were a song, the lyrics of the story would be strong
You'd connect to all the listeners who are singing along
Thanks to the composer, who wrote the chords for your sweet tune
The first verse you were in Venus, the second you landed on my moon
For your song I sing harmony
You are the best song that ever happened to me
Every part of our beating hearts would belong
to you, if you were a song
INSTRUMENTAL 8 bars
A chorus of happy chickadees will be flying along with your song
‘Cause the rhythm of your loving-kindness is so strong.
Outtake:
You're a beautiful song; For you I sing harmony
You're a beautiful song; You're the best song ever happened to me
You're a beautiful song (repeat and end)
