Sweet Is The Melody lyrics

Artist  : Iris Dement 
Song : Sweet Is The Melody
 
Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.

It's so hard to make every note bend just
right.

You lay down the hours and leave not one
trace,

But a tune for the dancing is there in it's
place.



Well, the dance floor's for gliding and not
jumping over ponies.

Where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as
they should.

It's for celebrating a Friday night romance:

Forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling
good.



Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.

It's so hard to make every note bend just
right.

You lay down the hours and leave not one
trace,

But a tune for the dancing is there in it's
place.



Oh, an arm's just an arm 'til it's wrapped 'round
a shoulder;

Looped side by side they go stepping out
together.

A note's just a note 'til you wake from your
slumber,

And dare to discover the new melody.



Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.

It's so hard to make every note bend just
right.

You lay down the hours and leave not one
trace,

But a tune for the dancing is there in it's
place.



Instrumental break.



Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by.

It's so hard to make every note bend just
right.

You lay down the hours and leave not one
trace,

But a tune for the dancing is there in it's
place.



Ooh, ooh.

Ooh ooh.
