Lyrics: Aselin Debison. Sweet Is The Melody.

Sweet is the melody,
so hard to come by
It's so hard to make
every note bend just right
You lay down the hours
and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing
is there in its place

The dance floor's for gliding,
not jumping over ponies
where boots and gold bracelets
come and meet as they should
It's for celebrating
a Friday night romance
forgetting the bad stuff
and just feeling good

Sweet is the melody,
so hard to come by
It's so hard to make
every note bend just right
You lay down the hours
and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing
is there in its place

An arm's just an arm
'til it's wrapped 'round a shoulder
looped side by side
they go stepping out together
A note's just a note
'til you wake from your slumber
and dare to discover
the new melody

Sweet is the melody,
so hard to come by
It's so hard to make
every note bend just right
You lay down the hours
and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing
is there in its place

Sweet is the melody,
so hard to come by
It's so hard to make
every note bend just right
You lay down the hours
and leave not one trace
but a tune for the dancing
is there in its place
