A gloomy sky above me A puddle on the ground But something's gotta change 'cause there's no sunshine to be found My vision is obscured By these endless murky clouds But something's gotta change right now I can hear a faraway sound I can hear a distant melody Oh how it clings to me On this lovely summer night My ears are captured by its harmony It's like a symphony With a theme so pure and light A churchbell rings And that soulful trumpet Sings of lovers lost and found Listen closely you can hear it roar A soothing swinging tune With a melody in c Can you hear that distant melody Oh how it sends me reeling Makes my heart take flight My technicolour ragtime band joins in Makes all my troubles vanish Into the pitch - dark night This upbeat tune's Got me flying to the moon Sending shivers down my spine A churchbell rings And that soulful trumpet Sings of lovers lost and found Listen closely you can hear it roar A soothing swinging tune With a melody in c Oh what a melody Oh what a melody in c
