Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, and fleeting
Ordinary music in an ordinary street
Why does your heart start beating
What can a song do to you?
Can it wake any memory sleeping
Can it call back a day when your heart fled away into somebody else's keeping
What can a song do to you?
Can it bring back a spring in December
Can it make with each note such an ache in your throat
And you find you can still remember
For the past is a house full of treasure
The lies buried deep in the store
Every smile, every tear, every pleasure
And a song is the key to the door
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
What can a song do to you
Can it kindle a flame that was dying
Til it burns once again with its joy, with its pain
And your heart's of a sudden crying
Oh I know, yes I know, now I see
What a song has done to me
As we were walking down the street
There came from a high up window six notes of music
Then her feet as though the road were suddenly steep
And heavy with the summers heat
Cam slower and very slow
Stop and tell me why you weep
Turn this way and look at me
Does it remind you of a time when you were sad
Oh no, but it reminds me of a time when I could be
It reminds me of a time when I could be
