Last Time a Great Song Came Along

When's
the very last time you recall, in your mind,
that
a great song came along...
when
the tune and the lyrics were something much more
than
a beat that was heavy and strong?
When's
the very last time, that a song gave you wings,
and
you soared over heaven and earth...
when
notes flew you so high, brought a tear to your eye,
like
the sight of your first child's birth?
Chorus:
When's
the very last time you recall, in your mind,
when
a melody lifted you far,
from
the common and trite, to extremes of delight,
like
a stroll on a moonbeam or star?
When's
the very last time you recall, in your mind,
that
a rhapsody roused you to fire,
and
the heat in your heart, hatched a tender-love start,
that
took off, then flew higher and higher?
When's
the very last time you recall, in your mind,
that
a symphony swept you away,
and
your doldrums erased by the delicate taste,
of
the salt in the frothy surf spray.
Chorus:
When's
the very last time you recall, in your mind,
when
a melody lifted you far,
from
the common and trite, to extremes of delight,
like
a stroll on a moonbeam or star?
