From the recording ORKESTRAZZ XVI
Lyrics
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
[Verse 1]
It’s the whisper of a cello's sigh,
A trumpet’s call that kisses the sky,
The keys that dance, the bass that hums,
A melody that never succumbs.
It doesn’t ask, it only bestows,
A gift wrapped in crescendos.
[Chorus]
Music keeps giving, oh, giving and giving,
It asks for no payment, just keeps on living.
A song in the air, a rhythm that wakes,
The only thing that never takes.
[Verse 2]
A violin sings of joy and despair,
It paints a world beyond compare.
The timpani rolls, a heartbeat strong,
Binding us all in its timeless song.
It doesn’t fade, it doesn’t stray,
It lingers long after the final play.
[Prechorus]
No hands can hold it, no cage can bind,
It’s the voice of the soul, the heart, the mind.
[Chorus]
Music keeps giving, oh, giving and giving,
It asks for no payment, just keeps on living.
A song in the air, a rhythm that wakes,
The only thing that never takes.
[Bridge]
In the quiet of night, it softly appears,
A tune to soothe, to dry your tears.
In jubilation, it bursts and soars,
Unlocking love through invisible doors.
