around and around
just keep playing
around and around
because you don't know how sweet it sounds
how sweet it is to watch your elbows twitch with each beat
brother of mine
who i raised to 'do right'
we're getting older now
the world is colder for me now
and i'll be gone before you don your winter coat
so listen close, these are the notes i never taught you:
'do right' means close your eyes
and let your heart guide your hands
don't let anyone tell you your chords are out of tune
just keep playing
around and around, until your hands find their shape
and trust that you'll look back someday
thankful for all the wrong notes you played
because now she's dancing to your tune
around and around
dancing to your tune. |
