[Intro]
[Somber strings swell, drums rise softly]
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm…
⸻
[Verse 1]
She was sunlight through a dusty pane,
A quiet glow in a crowded coffee shop.
Her smile stirred the silence in my chest,
But fear held my tongue and kept me chained.
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm.
⸻
[Chorus]
Oh, I’ve been silent all these years,
Swallowin’ my hopes, drownin’ in my fears.
Each little chance just fades too soon,
Leavin’ me hummin’ that same old tune…
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm.
⸻
[Verse 2]
She was laughter dancing in the rain,
We walked for miles though I said so little.
Each glance she gave was a door left wide,
Yet I closed it each time with my own refrain.
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm.
⸻
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight,
I’ll find the courage to set it right.
But until then, I’ll guard my flame,
Singin’ this melody, whisperin’ her name…
⸻
[Verse 3]
She was a fire I could not claim,
Another hand reached out and she answered.
Their vows were spoken, her heart was given,
And now I watch those eyes watch him.
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm.
⸻
[Chorus – Full Band Swell]
Oh, I’ve been silent all these years,
Swallowin’ my hopes, drownin’ in my fears.
Each little chance just fades too soon,
Leavin’ me hummin’ that same old tune…
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm.
⸻
[Outro – Strings Fade]
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm…
Hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm…
Words I can’t say… driftin’ away…
