STRINGS OF ETERNITY [Intro — Soft Piano, Upright Bass, Brushed Snare] There’s a song in the night There’s a light in the blue And somehow, darling It leads me to you [Verse 1] You came walking in With the world on your shoes A smile in your eyes And a pocket of blues You said, “Life is a song, So you’d better sing true” And suddenly, darling The whole room was you [Pre-Chorus — Horns Begin to Rise] From the edge of the sea To the stars up above There’s a rhythm in you There’s a rhythm in love [Chorus — Full Big Band] These are the strings of eternity Playing for you, playing for me Hold to the music wherever you are One little note can travel so far These are the strings of eternity Sweet as a dream, wild as the sea And when the whole world comes apart at the seams We’ll still have the music We’ll still have the dream [Verse 2 — Walking Bass, Swing Opens Up] We went running through town With the moon hanging low No particular place We were planning to go You laughed at the rain Like you knew it by name And somehow the thunder Was never the same No kingdom to win No fortune to hold Just two foolish hearts And a night made of gold [Pre-Chorus — Brass Climbing] From the top of the hill To the streets down below When your heart finds a song You just let the thing go [Chorus — Bigger] These are the strings of eternity Playing for you, playing for me Sing it out loud, let the old walls fall Sometimes one voice is enough for us all These are the strings of eternity Sweet as a dream, deep as the sea And when the whole world comes apart at the seams We’ll still have the music We’ll still have the dream [Bridge — Drop to Piano, Bass and Vocal] And if someday The lights all disappear And the road home Is suddenly unclear Just sing one note And wherever you may be I’ll hear you, darling... And you’ll hear me [Instrumental — Trumpet / Big-Band Break] [Final Chorus — Full Orchestra] These are the strings of eternity Playing for you, playing for me Hold to the music, wherever it goes Nobody knows where eternity flows These are the strings of eternity Bright as the stars over you and me And when that last drum is fading away The song keeps on playing Long after we’ve gone [Final Tag — Band Drops Behind Vocal] So give me your hand And whatever may be... We’ll swing on the strings... Of eternity. [Final Brass Hit]
