Lyrics

What I Can't Explain

[Verse 1]
I can’t explain what stirs my heart,
A fleeting spark, a work of art,
It’s the hush before a storm,
The way your smile feels warm—
How do I put it into words?

[Chorus]
It’s a waltz in the rain, a candle’s soft glow,
The whisper of leaves where the night winds blow.
It’s a melody hidden in the air so still,
I can’t explain what I feel,
But I can create a song that will.

[Verse 2]
Your laugh’s a note, your touch, a chord,
A symphony I can’t afford.
Each glance, a fleeting refrain,
A tune that’s tender, bittersweet, insane—
You’re the music I’ve long adored.

[Prechorus]
I hum the ache, the bliss, the thrill,
No words can match it, but music will.

[Chorus]
It’s a waltz in the rain, a candle’s soft glow,
The whisper of leaves where the night winds blow.
It’s a melody hidden in the air so still,
I can’t explain what I feel,
But I can create a song that will.

[Bridge]
Let the clarinet sing what I cannot,
A smoky phrase for the love I’ve sought.
Strings will sigh, and the brass will plead,
Every note a part of my need.
