I'm living in a minor key,
a melancholy mystery
A quiet place where you and
me can be quite still
Piano plays a minor chord and I'm
reminded of the day
When love gave me her rich rewards
Then took away my major woes
I stumbled on such sweet repose
In a minor key
When two weary hearts
Have two wide open spaces
It's enough for a wife
Just to smile
What should love endure
Than smiles on their faces
Talk to bitter tears
Back to tears of joy, I'm living in a minor key
A bittersweet tranquility
A place where nothing touches me,
nor ever will
A sad familiar melody comes singing
through the room to me
Whenever I am by your side I take
a ride down memory lane
And face the truth I'm back
again in a minor key
Rain falls on the roof as
we lie here together
How to fill up the jugs only you and
I will ever understand
Cling up for a while in the pool of an ocean
Let the water rise,
take your time and see
You'll find it in a minor key
I'm living in a minor key
A melancholy mystery
But it plays the way you and
me can be quiet still
Piano plays a minor chord
And I'm reminded of the day
When love gave me her rich rewards
That took away my major woes
I stumbled on such sweet
loopholes
you
