Drop My Heart Upon the Floor

Liner Notes

For some reason I wanted to write a tin pan alley kinda tune. Turned out it's a lot harder than you'd think.

#jazz (except whether or not you consider tin pan alley I could give an entire diatribe or even a lecture about the history of American pop music but yada yada yada)

Lyrics

At the risk of sounding foolish
A danger that I've faced before
Even more so when I'm with you
I leave my wits at the door

It started with some repartee
But now it's something more
When you're here I fall
And drop my heart upon the floor

I seem to lose it all
As if I had any marbles left to count
They roll right out of my pocket
Whenever you come around

It started with such simple toys
But now it's something more
When you're here I fall
And drop my heart upon the floor

Many games have come and gone
Somehow you remain
It's not a game anymore
You've taken away my aim

At the risk of sounding foolish
A danger that I've faced before
Even more so when I'm with you
I leave my wits at the door

It started with a simple game
But now it's something more
When you're here I fall
And drop my heart upon the floor
