Opening Verse: There I stood in that quiet stone garden Sunday suit and a trembling hand Her name cut deep in the marble Like it was carved straight into this man I thought love was a closed door Locked and buried with the past Never dreamed these shattered pieces Could ever fit back again Pre-Chorus Somewhere living in the silence of memories Through the hurt and the long nights alone I remembered what she used to tell me When our favorite record came on Chorus Get up, man — find yourself again Don’t let the dust settle where your heart’s been There’s a melody still left to play Don’t let the music fade away There’s someone out there holding on Waiting on a love that’s strong Two broken hearts can still belong ...To the dust of a love song Verse 2 I’d been out of that world for a long time Didn’t know what I had left to give What could a man half torn apart Offer somebody who still wants to live? So I polished up these old boots Wiped the sorrow from my view Took a breath and walked back into A world that felt brand new Pre-Chorus That’s when I saw her standing By a jukebox glowing blue She said, “Do you believe in second chances?” I said, “I’m hoping you do too…” Chorus Get up, man — find yourself again Don’t let the dust settle where your heart’s been There’s a melody still left to play Don’t let the music fade away There’s someone out there holding on Waiting on a love that’s strong Two broken hearts can still belong ...To the dust of a love song Bridge We danced slow to an old familiar tune Anticipation and nerves filled the room She held on like she understood That loving again don’t mean you forgot what was good It just means the heart still moves ...When somebody finally feels like home Final Chorus Get up, man — find yourself again Don’t let the dust settle where your heart’s been There’s a melody still left to play Don’t let the music fade away When two souls dare to hold on Even after love feels gone Heaven writes it in the song In the dust of a love song Slow: Yeah, the dust of a love soooooong…
