The sound of flowing music came
Into my house today
It sounded like the gift of life
That angels sing or play

The pattern and the meter was
Unlike my troubled mind
As it was calm and ordered
And to my heart it’s kind

The tune it is delight and love
The meaning it is clear
It’s making me feel right inside
It’s taking all my fear

But the music isn’t played at all
It’s not a string or bell
It’s not a flute or made by brass
No drumstick raised or fell

The music is my my lady love
Who came to live with me
Her voice is better than all songs
Her music sets me free

No longer is the silent house
A prison of solitude
Now the sounds of laughter ring
And loneliness preclude
