"I Heard Your Song"

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.
