The Melody Doesn’t Die

[intro] (fiddle echoing softly, stadium empty, pendant glowing) Mmm… the melody lives on… [verse 1] Empty stage, the lights are low, Fiddle strings still warm from the show. I hear a voice from long ago, Whispering softly through the echo. [pre-chorus] She said, “Child, don’t be afraid— Songs like ours are never erased.” [chorus] The melody doesn’t die, It just sleeps beneath the sky. Waiting for someone brave again, To play the tune where it all began. Yeah, the melody doesn’t die— It lives in the hands that try. [verse 2] Ghost in red, her pendant gleams, She walks beside me in my dreams. Her bow and mine, the same refrain, Two hearts beating through the rain. [pre-chorus] She smiles and fades into the light, But her song stays burning in the night. [chorus] The melody doesn’t die, It just waits through years gone by. For the brave, for the pure, for the wild, For a voice in the dark of the child. [bridge] Strings cry out like thunder’s hymn, I can feel her soul within. Every note, every breath I send— Her love begins again. [final chorus] The melody doesn’t die, It’s written in the bloodline sky. Waiting for someone brave again— To play it loud, to feel, to mend. Yeah, the melody doesn’t die… It just waits for someone brave enough To play it again. [outro] (fiddle fades, ghostly harmony) Mmm… the melody lives on…
