Nothing Moves Me

Mandolin trembles in the blue
One perfect note held just past true 
Sweet sonata pours from the keys  
Someone's composing a symphony 
But nothing moves me quite like you  
 
Melting snow under lights like glass 
Frozen lake glows as evening passed 
Starlings dance in murmuration 
Lights emerge in constellation 
But nothing moves me quite like you  
 
The sunset was beautiful tonight 
All violet and pink against the white 
Children laugh from the living room 
My favorite day is coming soon 
And nothing moves me quite like you  
 
A child asleep against my arm  
We're safe inside the evening's calm 
The kind of peace we all pursue  
Knitting souls, the ache withdrew 
Nothing moves me quite like you
 
Tomorrow when I open my eyes 
And turn toward the empty side  
I'll try to steal a few moments more  
At home in your arms evermore 
The kettle hums, the morning starts 
The house is quiet as we part 
Your words remain in all I do 
I carry them the whole day through 
Nothing moves me quite like you 
No, nothing moves me like you do
