[Intro – Deep Fretless Bass, Soft Bodhrán Pulse, Delicate Portuguese Guitar] [Low Smoky Female Contralto – Intimate, Melodic] Mmm... Some things fade. Some things stay. [Verse 1 – Syncopated Fretless Bass, Gentle Portuguese Guitar] I knew a boy in early spring, Who made me laugh at everything. He kissed me in the falling rain, By summer, I forgot his name. [Verse 2 – Rolling Bodhrán Rhythm, Warm Guitar Responses] Another came with autumn skies, A practiced smile, familiar lies. We danced until the morning light, And called it love for half the night. [Pre-Chorus – Breathy Bandoneon Swell, Subtle Harmonic Tension] Some hearts pass like weather, Some leave their seasons in your skin. [Chorus – Deep Soul Groove, Portuguese Guitar Accents, Restrained Bandoneon] I've known the touch, I've known the flame, I've whispered love and called its name. But all the kisses passing by Can't match the kiss within your eyes. You never held me, never tried, Yet something in me came alive. [Instrumental – Portuguese Guitar Melody, Fretless Bass, Bandoneon Responses] [Verse 3 – Sparse Bodhrán, Intimate Contralto, Delicate Guitar] You stood so close, yet stayed apart, No borrowed words, no promised heart. You looked at me across the room, And all the noise fell out of tune. [Pre-Chorus – Solo Cello Enters, Gentle Bandoneon Swell] Some hearts pass like weather, Some leave their seasons in your skin. [Chorus – Fuller Fretless Groove, Warm Layered Vocal Harmonies] I've known the touch, I've known the flame, I've whispered love and called its name. But all the kisses passing by Can't match the kiss within your eyes. You never held me, never tried, Yet something in me came alive. [Bridge – Exposed Solo Cello, Soft Bandoneon, Minimal Bass] Was it love, or something more? A life I never lived before? I only know, through all these years, Your silence is the thing I hear. [Final Chorus – All Five Instruments, Restrained Emotional Lift, Deep Rhythmic Pocket] I've known the touch, I've known the flame, And watched the seasons take their names. But all the kisses passing by Can't match the kiss within your eyes. You never held me, never tried, Yet something in me stayed alive. [Outro – Portuguese Guitar Fades, Bandoneon Answers Vocal, Soft Bodhrán] Mmm... Some things fade. Some things stay. The kiss within your eyes...
