Lyrics Something That You Said - Al Jarreau

Something That You Said

I clearly recall the moments
Your face, the rain in Paris, a distant bell
Now, inside my head, I still recall the moment
There was something that you said
And now, only now, if somehow I were younger
Nimble little fingers remember each melody
Melodies and days that I adored
Flower vases, cathedral doors
So long to sailin', safe by my door
Sunny place inside, comforting is all paid for
Too late for some change of mind, ohh, how would I ever find me?
Through rain and crying you were saying
Every heart is safe inside a place
That makes and shapes the changing
Make the change, sail away beyond the wishing star
Dreamers gettin' armor
Froze in the altitudes, toasting the latitudes
Old empty platitudes, tossing, turning, freezing and burning
Comin' around, comin' around, settlin' down
Comin' around, settlin' down
Ice cream and thunder, night beasts and butterflies
Most mornin’s I’d settle for a little rain
I’ll let it in and let it out, I’ll blow it over, coda
Start all over again, makin' the bitter end a friend
Play that restless melody for me again
The one I’ve been, been so afraid of my sweet friend
Maybe the little refrain will whisper inside the rain again
Play the one with all the changes
Some lullabies for sleeping, a lullaby for weeping
And one to teach my heart to fight and win
Singing a sailin' song
Sun song, sun song
Now inside my head I still recall the moment
There was something that you said
I live inside the moment
Hearing something that you said
How still inside the moment
There was something that you said
Remarkable and wonderful
This something that you said
