Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Night after night in this dimly lit room
I stand before the microphone, watching you sway
Your fingers dance across polished brass
While melodies float between us like smoke
Each note you play seems to linger in air
As if trying to tell me something more
I catch your glance across the stage
But your eyes turn down to your instrument again
[Hook]
When you play, are you speaking to me?
[Saxophone response]
[Verse 2]
The crowd has thinned, but we remain
My voice grows softer as yours grows bold
Every solo feels like a private conversation
That only I can understand
Your music wraps around my words
Like arms that never quite embrace
I've memorized each breath you take
Before your reed begins to sing
[Hook]
When you play, are you speaking to me?
[Saxophone response]
[Bridge]
Sometimes I dream I know the language
Of every note that leaves your soul
Would I find courage in translation?
Or am I hearing what I want to hear?
[Final Verse]
The last call bell rings through empty halls
But still we stay, locked in this dance
My lyrics search for hidden meaning
In every phrase you send my way
The question hangs between us both
Like the final note that never falls
[Hook]
When you play, are you speaking to me?
[Extended saxophone solo to end]
