Melody for You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing by your window
Listening to the sounds of the city below
Watching raindrops fall on rooftops
And the moon's looking like it's a stone's throw away

[Pre-Chorus]
And if I were a poet
Then my words would be revealing
All I'm feeling for you tonight

[Chorus]
But if my thoughts could be played just like notes
Then I'd play you a melody
I'd play you a melody
Play you a melody so fine
To wish you love all the time

[Verse 2]
And the hours we've spent together
Made us feel so much closer than I've ever felt before
Or the times that we just lay silent
Feeling so good to be in each other's company

[Pre-Chorus]
And if I were an artist
Then I'd sketch you in colors
How I long to show you how I care
[Chorus]
But if my thoughts could be played just like notes
Then I'd play you a melody
I'd play you a melody
Play you a melody so fine
Wish you love all the time

[Trumpet Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, if I were an artist
Then I'd sketch you in colors
How I long to show you how I care

[Chorus]
But if my thoughts could be played just like notes
Then I'd play you a melody
I'd play you a melody
Play you a melody so fine
Wish you love all the time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
