You walked into this place tonight

Like you've done a thousand times before

Playing those same old melodies

But I can see there's something more

In every note, in every line

The way you speak without a sound

Tell me what you've found

Every place that calls your name

Has left its mark, has lit a flame

And though you never stay too long

You leave a part of you in song

From corner bars in New Orleans

To smoky rooms in Chicago nights

Different faces, different crowds

But they all see the same warm light

When your fingers touch those keys

And time just fades away

Tell me what they say

Every place that calls your name

Has left its mark, has lit a flame

And though you never stay too long

You leave a part of you in song

(Ohhh, the music flows)

Through every door you've ever known

(Mmmm, the rhythm shows)

The pieces of your soul you've grown

I wonder if you'll ever know

How many hearts you've touched out there

Moving like a gentle breeze

Through lives that needed someone to care

Maybe that's your gift to give

A moment's peace, a sweet refrain

Tell me once again

Every place that calls your name

Has left its mark, has lit a flame

And though you never stay too long

You leave a part of you in song

(Leave a part of you... in song)
