Molly Drake — What Can a Song Do to You? lyrics

Lyrics

Why does your heart start beating
What can a song do to you?
Can it wake any memory sleeping
Can it call back a day when your heart fled away into somebody else’s keeping
What can a song do to you?
Can it bring back a spring in December
Can it make with each note such an ache in your throat
And you find you can still remember
For the past is a house full of treasure
The lies buried deep in the store
Every smile, every tear, every pleasure
And a song is the key to the door
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
What can a song do to you
Can it kindle a flame that was dying
Til it burns once again with its joy, with its pain
And your heart’s of a sudden crying
Oh I know, yes I know, now I see
What a song has done to me
