lirik lagu abbey lincoln - learning how to listen
[intro]
life is like a song to sing
with measured beats and phrases
and bended notes and some repeats
music through the ages
that brings the highs, the lows, the swells
sometimes it’s for an ending
bringing other songs to sing
ascending, descending
[verse 1]
i’m learnin’ how to listen
how to hear a melody
how to hear the song i’m singin’
how to feel and let it be
and listen to the song
knowin’ how it goes
and listen for the melody that flows
[verse 2]
music is a lover
with shiny golden wings
that whispers in the lover’s ear
and dances when it sings
and sends a variation
on an everlasting theme
it’s either love or sorrow on the scene
[verse 3]
i’m learnin’ how to listen
for the songs i name and sign
and claim as a possession
and say that they are mine
’cause everybody knows
that songs come from out of the blue
and i’m learnin’ how to hear the changes too
[verse 4]
i’m learnin’ how to listen
to the rhythm of the night
how to keep it simple
how to make it sweet and light
smooth and free and easy
for slammin’ in a jam
and all for just a moment, the music that i am
[vibraphone solo]
[verse 5]
i’m learnin’ how to listen
how to holler, sing the blues
i’m learnin’ how to rise above
and wear somebody’s shoes
learnin’ how to listen
for the song was given me
i’m learnin’ how to listen and be free
[verse 1]
i’m learnin’ how to listen
how to hear a melody
how to hear the song i’m singin’
how to feel and let it be
and listen for the song
knowing how it goes
and listen for the melody that flows
and listen for the melody that flows
