about

Melody’s Eyes

This Song is about forbidden love. The girl, Melody, spots the love of her life when she is young but finds out that he is taken so she cannot pursue him.

Over the years she watches him and admires him and eventually builds up the courage to ask him to play sweet solos on her songs.

Time passes and they play songs together and they begin to sing in harmony. She waits and doesn’t tell him how she feels until one day, after a decade has passed, they both find themselves single and she wonders if he can see the truth in her eyes.

It becomes harder and harder for her to hide her feelings for him and there bond gets stronger. She wonders if he feels the same and she hopes that one day she will be able to tell him how she feels.

And until that day she continues to play with her heart on her sleeve but dares to dream of a time when they might be together at last.

lyrics

Melody’s eyes – The Purple Shoes

Chorus
Melody play with her heart upon her sleeve
And she sings for her love and she dares to believe
Melodies eyes give away her secrets
And she knows she can’t deceive any more

Verse

Dancing in harmony they meet
Strumming over the strings of time
Melody’s heart skips a beat
While her and her lover walk in line…..

Chorus
Melody play with her heart upon her sleeve
And she sings for her love and she dares to believe
Melodies eyes give away her secrets
And she knows she can’t deceive any more

Verse
Doing what she thinks is right
Melody keeps it all inside
Hoping one day he’ll be free
So she can tell him how she feels….

Chorus
Melody play with her heart upon her sleeve
And she sings for her love and she dares to believe
Melodies eyes give away her secrets
And she knows she can’t deceive any more

Solo over verse
Chorus chords
La la da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da ad ad da da da da da
And She knows she can’t deceive anymore x 3
