When I’m by your side, you’re unaware
I gaze into your eyes, but you’re not there
And all the perfect words refuse to come
Unless this brand new lyric is the one…

And if I could
Make a connection
Then you would
Show your affection
Music makes
My subtle message strong…
And the fortress ‘round your heart
Can’t stop a song…

Talkin’s never been my strongest suit
But listening’s something all of us can do
These ivory keys insist that I get real
So your flicker of a smile can be revealed

And if I could
Make a connection
Then you would
Show your affection
Music makes
My subtle message strong
And the fortress ‘round your heart
Can’t stop a song…

So maybe you’ll ignore my
constant stare
Turn deaf ears to words that say I care
But the magic in my melody gets through…
Cause music has a power
Over you…

And if I could
Make a connection
Then you would
Show your affection
Music makes
My subtle message loud and clear
Music will
Ignite us
Help us light
The night up
Music makes
My subtle message strong
And the fortress ‘round your heart
Can’t stop a song
There’s no fortress strong enough to stop a song…
