This Empty Room

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Play something soft and slow tonight, No rushing beats or blazing sound, A melody that feels just right, When silence keeps us safe and bound. [Verse – Lead vocal with soft backing vocals in harmony] The way they used to play before, When listeners would truly hear, Those gentle notes through every door, That drew the faithful spirits near. [Verse – Lead vocal with soft backing vocals in harmony] This empty room with chairs turned down, The glasses dry, the crowd has fled, But still the music holds its ground, Though nothing more needs to be said. I didn't come here for the noise, I'm not quite sure why I remain, But in this quiet, tender poise, There's comfort found in gentle pain. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2} So let the last song softly play, No need to heal or make things whole, Just let the trumpet drift away, And speak directly to the soul. The piano keys can lose their way, No destination they must find, Some perfect notes will always stay, When music soothes the restless mind. No need to tie it with a bow, Or wrap the evening neat and tight, Some tender nights must simply flow, Until the music fades from sight. [Chorus – Lead vocal with clear backing vocal harmonies] When all the songs have found their end, The silence holds us close and true, These quiet moments softly blend, The night, the music, me and you. [repeat] [Instrumental Outro]
