"I Heard Your Song"

Copyright 1993, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

I just can't say what's happened to that path from yesterday;

Was it washed away?

A litle bird sang single notes and answered in reply:

"You'll find your place, you'll find your place, so fly!"

 

I combed the shore for secrets from the sea to tell me more;

Why is love a chore?

The waves repeating thunder taps a fundamental beat;

It's rhythm dark and strong, it's message sweet--

I HEARD YOUR SONG.

 

Dreaming silly dreams, it's a simple theme that I recall;

Just remember this, in our loneliness,

That love, a smile, a flower says it all.

 

I can't explain why falling into love results in pain;

Isn't life insane?

But when a double rainbow seems to catch me by surprise

I sudden stroke of wonder fills my eyes;

I HEARD YOUR SONG.

 

Now when I have a quiet moment, 

The chords are there--they fill the air--I sing along;

Whenever sadness makes me blue, there's you--

I've learned your key, mon ami;

I HEARD YOUR SONG.
