Jazz, Clarinet, Band

Never Forget It
Jazz, Clarinet, Band
Lyrics
Verse 1
Tiny table in the corner
Your coffee going cold
You laugh into your collar
Like there’s something you won’t hold
My fingers find the first note
You tilt your head, then stay
One deep breath, then I promise
I’ll play the doubt away
Chorus
I’ll play my clarinet so you’ll never forget it
Every bend, every breath, every slide, don’t you let it
Slip from your mind, from your heart, don’t regret it
I’ll play my clarinet so you’ll never forget it
Verse 2
You trace circles on the coaster
Lost inside the tone
I pour stories through the reed now
Things I’ve never said out loud
Your eyes shining in the half-light
Like you’re hearing future plans
Every run a little secret
Dancing right out of my hands
Chorus
Bridge
soft scatted ad-libs underneath
If you leave when the lights come up
You’ll still hum this on your way
Every phrase a little postcard
From the night we didn’t waste
gently
So when you’re far from this corner
And the room’s gone quiet too
That low, sweet line in your memory?
That’s me, playing back to you
Clarinet solo
Chorus
