needle drops-

faint crackle in the air-

your perfume-

dust dancing in your hair-

you laughed once-

that sound just hooked my heart-

like a half‑heard line from a song that fell apart-

this feels like the start of something real-

background angels humming what I feel-

every little glance says baby- (stay-)

old‑time record-

brand‑new day-

this might be the start of something true-

broken little chorus made for two-

picking up the pieces as we sway-

let the faded fragments find their way-

scratched words-

forever on the label torn-

melody of maybe since the day we were born-

your soft hi, slipped into my refrain-

now the lost refrain got a name-

your name-

this feels like the start of something real-

background angels humming what I feel-

every little glance says baby- (stay-)

old‑time record-

brand‑new day-

this might be the start of something true-

broken little chorus, made for two-

picking up the pieces as we sway-

let the faded fragments find their way-

(doo‑doo-, doo‑doo‑doo-, ahh-..)

skip, you take my hand-

sudden little harmony i understand-

if this is just a dream-

don’t break the seal-

keep it looping-

slow and sweet-

til the feeling turns to real-

(ooh‑-) this feels like the start of something real-

background angels humming what I feel-

every little glance says baby- (stay-)

old‑time record-

brand‑new day-

(ooh‑-) this might be the start of something true-

broken little chorus made for two-

holding every heartbeat as we sway-

let the faded fragments stay this way---
