Roberta

Songtekst

[Verse 1] You came in laughing, rain caught in your hair A paper cup of coffee, autumn in the air You asked me how my day was, like you had the time And all the little things in me fell into line [Pre-Chorus] Now I save the seat beside me I take the long way home Every quiet part of my life Feels less like being alone [Chorus] Roberta, when you say my name The whole room settles, nothing feels the same I never knew a heart could open this way Roberta, I’m falling more each day [Verse 2] You hum while you’re cooking, barefoot on the tile Tell the same old story and make me laugh awhile Your coat on my shoulder, your keys beside the door Somehow ordinary feels like something more [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t need a reason To want you close to me You turn the smallest moments Into where I want to be [Chorus] Roberta, when you say my name The whole room settles, nothing feels the same I never knew a heart could open this way Roberta, I’m falling more each day [Bridge] If the years move quickly, let them find us here Still making room for laughter, still making it clear I’ll meet you in the morning, I’ll choose you when it’s late No grand words could say it like the way I stay [Final Chorus] Roberta, when you say my name The whole room settles, nothing feels the same I never knew a heart could open this way Roberta, I’m falling more each day Roberta, let the years roll on With your hand in mine, I know where I belong [Outro] Your hand in mine, the evening turning blue Roberta, every road keeps leading me to you
