Lyrics
She slightly tilts her head and grins
the words on paper draw her in
She bites a fingernail and sighs
a quiet gleam in her blue eyes
She grips his letter in her hand
so tightly, she reads it again and again
She lets her lips betray a smile
then blushes meekly for a while
But when she laughs out loud
she's startled by the sound
then folds the letter carefully away.
The TV flickers blue and white
and on the phone she says good night
and though he cannot reason why
he just can't stand to say goodbye
As she delays a stifled yawn
he hums a sentimental song
...
She tries to hum along
but in a different key
My dear it still sounds wonderful to me
My dear it still sounds wonderful to me.
