In a Minor Key

I'm living in a minor key
A melancholy mystery
A quiet place where you and me
Can be quite still
Piano plays a minor chord
And I'm reminded of the day
When love game me her rich rewards
Then took away my major woes
I stumbled on such sweet repose
In a minor key

When two weary hearts
Enter wide open spaces
It's enough for a while just to smile
But should love endure
Then the smiles on their faces
Turn to bitter tears
Back to tears of joy
I'm living in a minor key
A bitter-sweet tranquility
A place where nothing touches me
Nor ever will

A sad familiar melody
Comes singing through the room to me
Whenever I am by your side
I'll take a ride down memory lane
And face the truth I'm back again
In a minor key

Rain falls on the roof
As we lie here together
Laughing at the jokes
Only you and I will ever understand
Linger for a while
In the pool of emotion
Let the water rise
Take your time and see
You'll find it in a minor key

I'm living in a minor key
A melancholy mystery
A quiet place where you and me
Can be quite still
Piano plays a minor chord
And I'm reminded of the day
When love game me her rich rewards
Then took away my major woes
I stumbled on such sweet repose
