Something That You Said

I clearly recall the moments Your face, the rain in Paris, a distant bell Now, inside my head, I still recall the moment There was something that you said And now, only now, if somehow I were younger Nimble little fingers remember each melody Melodies and days that I adored Flower vases, cathedral doors So long to sailin', safe by my door Sunny place inside, comforting is all paid for Too late for some change of mind, ohh, how would I ever find me? Through rain and crying you were saying Every heart is safe inside a place That makes and shapes the changing Make the change, sail away beyond the wishing star Dreamers gettin' armor Froze in the altitudes, toasting the latitudes Old empty platitudes, tossing, turning, freezing and burning Comin' around, comin' around, settlin' down Comin' around, settlin' down Ice cream and thunder, night beasts and butterflies Most mornin's I'd settle for a little rain I'll let it in and let it out, I'll blow it over, coda Start all over again, makin' the bitter end a friend Play that restless melody for me again The one I've been, been so afraid of my sweet friend Maybe the little refrain will whisper inside the rain again Play the one with all the changes Some lullabies for sleeping, a lullaby for weeping And one to teach my heart to fight and win Singing a sailin' song Sun song, sun song Now inside my head I still recall the moment There was something that you said I live inside the moment Hearing something that you said How still inside the moment There was something that you said Remarkable and wonderful This something that you said --- Something That You Said - Al Jarreau
