I learn so much just watching your fingers
       move along those strings
       so quickly, so gracefully
       from note to note
I try to follow while my clumsy hands
       struggle to keep pace
       from fret to fret
       I suffer, but you smile at me

Your shining nails will
flash along that violin
anticipation rises as I wait
for you to begin
Well, I might be in the wrong time
and I may be a measure behind
but I look for the confidence I find
       in your blue eyes

You give so much, I see it in the faces
       of those you have touched
       would it help you to know
       you've also been touching me?
So play your songs, those simple melodies
       late here in the afternoon
       can't you see just what it is
       you do for me?

Your shining nails will
flash along that violin
anticipation rises as I wait
for you to begin
Well, I might be in the wrong time
and I may be a measure behind
still I look for the confidence I find
       in your blue eyes
