Her heart was on fire when she first heard his tune
He captured her passion
Her rhythms
Her swoon
She felt as if someone had righted her wrongs
Because nothing speaks love like a song

He noticed her first in the strangest of places
A nondescript room with unmemorable faces

She hid like a planet awaiting a moon
Unaware of the brightness she brought to his gloom

He thought he had settled for a life all alone
But the music struck a chord
And the words quickly followed

He found nothing speaks love like a song
The lyrics may sometimes come out all wrong
The melody lingers even when it is gone
But nothing speaks love like a song
