You're My Music Girl

You’re My Music Girl


You’re my music girl,
With the lyrics of life;
Teaching me tunes
About sorrow and strife.

Play me some songs
Under the stars;
You show me Venus
And I’ll show you Mars.

You’re the music girl
With the music of life,
That cuts through the air
Like the blade of a knife.

Petty and Dylan,
And all of the rest,
Sing you the songs
When you’re feeling depressed.

Play me some music girl,
Under the moon;
Sing me the lyrics,
Teach me the tune.

Higher than high,
Lower than low;
I feel your music
Wherever I go.

When you need a friend
In the middle of the night,
I’ll play you the song
That’ll make you alright.
