The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Soft breeze, whispering trees
The summer winds are sighing
The leaves are lullabying
Violins are all around you
I can hear the chords resound
Of bounding brass that seems to say
I’ve found you! I’ve found you!
I’ve found you!
Refrain:
Strange music in my ears
Only now as you spoke, did it start
Strange music of the spheres
Could its lovely hum be coming from my heart?
You appear and I hear song sublime
Song that I’m incapable of
So dear, let me hold you near
While we treasure every measure
So that time can never change
The strange, new music of love
