Something That You Said - Al Jarreau

I clearly recall the moments

Your face, the rain in Paris, a distant bell

Now, inside my head, I still recall the moment

There was something that you said

And now, only now, if somehow I were younger

Nimble little fingers remember each melody

Melodies and days that I adored

Flower vases, cathedral doors

So long to sailin', safe by my door

Sunny place inside, comforting is all paid for

Too late for some change of mind, ohh, how would I ever find me?

Through rain and crying you were saying

Every heart is safe inside a place

That makes and shapes the changing

Make the change, sail away beyond the wishing star

Dreamers gettin' armor

Froze in the altitudes, toasting the latitudes

Old empty platitudes, tossing, turning, freezing and burning

Comin' around, comin' around, settlin' down

Comin' around, settlin' down

Ice cream and thunder, night beasts and butterflies

Most mornin’s I’d settle for a little rain

I’ll let it in and let it out, I’ll blow it over, coda

Start all over again, makin' the bitter end a friend

Play that restless melody for me again

The one I’ve been, been so afraid of my sweet friend

Maybe the little refrain will whisper inside the rain again

Play the one with all the changes

Some lullabies for sleeping, a lullaby for weeping

And one to teach my heart to fight and win

Singing a sailin' song

Sun song, sun song

Now inside my head I still recall the moment

There was something that you said

I live inside the moment

Hearing something that you said

How still inside the moment

There was something that you said

Remarkable and wonderful

This something that you said
