You Come Through

(hm-mmm) I caught myself laughing at a joke nobody made

Using that old phrase you loved,

watching the colors fade

And I even cleared my throat with that same heavy sigh

The one I used to mimic

when the years were rolling by

And suddenly the room is full of light An old familiar melody

finding its way tonight In the way I speak,

in the way I choose In the quiet kindness that I use

Oh, you come through

Yes, you come through

I met a kid down on the corner,

working on his old machine

Struggling with a rusty bolt like any I have seen

I showed him how to tap the side,

the way you taught me to

I even held the flashlight steady,

just like you would do

And suddenly the room is full of light

An old familiar melody

finding its way tonight In the way I speak,

in the way I choose

In the quiet kindness that I use Oh,

you come through

Yes, you come through

And I know I cannot slow

down the ticking of the clock

Some days the wind just blows right through

this dusty block But the blueprint that you left

is written in my hand And it's carrying me forward to a

better land And suddenly the room is full of light An old

familiar melody

finding its way tonight In the way I speak,

in the way I choose In the quiet kindness that I use

Oh, you come through

Yes, you come through (you come through)
