[Instrumental intro] [Quiet Piano solo] [Spoken words] I've got a special number, unused but treasured Paying monthly for the value I see 10 years ago, I searched far and wide A number with adjacent keys, a pleasing rhythm One man's passion, the joy of collecting This number is my hidden trove, my want But one day she saw my credit card bill With her sweet face, she had to say “Why keep a number you don't use? This is just money we can't lose.” A man's got romance and his collecting genes It's in our DNA, this quest for the rare Explaining calmly, I tried to show But she just couldn’t let it go Her logic sound, her words so clear To her, it was a waste, a pointless fear Will I have to let it go? What should I do with this treasured number? I knew I had to find a way To keep the peace, to save the day So I thought, and then it hit me hard A perfect plan, a winning card Oh, a man’s heart seeks romance, it's true In collections old, in the new It's in our DNA, this quest for the rare But against love's logic, I always lose I'll give my number, the one so dear To her, my love, to keep it near Her ordinary number, we'll let go To keep my treasure, she'll never know So now she holds the prize I sought And peace at home, it's what I bought But deep inside, it feels so strange A collector's heart, it won't change She’s happy now, and life goes on Yet something feels a bit withdrawn In the end, I made it right But lost a piece of me that night My treasured number in her hand My romance, placed in her land But somewhere in my heart The sound still lingers, a part In the quiet of the night (the night) I remember that number's light (number's light) A compromise, a peaceful night (peaceful night) But deep inside, I hold on tight (on tight) A man's romance, an eternal quest Canceled yet it persists That number remains in my heart Forever my treasure, never to part [Instrumental Piano solo] [Fade out] [End]
