We're sitting on the subway
I was hoping your stop was
The same as mine
You nestled a cello
Between your knees
I was strong but I melted there
You softened my heart strings
As you plucked your cello
Between your knees
Strings made notes
That melted my skin
Your fingers got it right
And you looked to see me
So soft and bright
Your baby blue eyes
Staring at me
So sparkling with delighting
We were sitting on the subway
Hoping your stop was
The same as mine
Kept me thinking I should make it so
Felt a sigh when the train did slow
You rose from your seat and stood to go
Handed me your cello and I'm mellow now
I was strong but I melted there
You softened my heart strings
With your smile
