What Is This Music That I Hear? Feat. Kristen Lambert With Bill Frisell by Chris Stamey Lyrics

What is this music that I hear?
Whenever you are near
The thrill of it is exquisite and strange
The glare and clatter of the crowd
Which once had seemed so loud
Has vanished and your melody remains
I thought that late Prokófiev
Was all that I had left
To while away the hours of the day
But now old Serguéi Rajmáninov
Seems sentimental fluff
And Gershwin is five thousand miles away
What is this music that I hear?
What is this music that I hear?
Each time I find you standing there
What is this music that I hear?
What is this music that I hear?
What is this music that I hear?
Each time I find you standing there
What is this music that I hear?
I heard it whispered in a dream
Seductive yet serene
But never have I heard it in daylight
At once familiar and obscure
Entrancing and demure
The cadences cascade like birds in flight
What is this music that I hear?
What is this music that I hear?
Each time I find you standing there
What is this music that I hear?
What is this music that I hear?
