It was just a simple thing She could play and he could sing And when he offered her a ring She offered him a smile And with nothing to their name But a melody to play They sang the cold away And somehow, all the while They’re making something out of nothing When the winter nights were long Come what may They found a way Somewhere in a song And the tunes that they performed Gave them shelter from the storm And the waltzes kept them warm When the drums were all but dry And the harmonies grew strong When the children came along And somehow in a song a Family Survived They’re making something out of nothing When the winter nights were long Come what may They found a way Somewhere in a song When they finally laid their heads They made a ballad for a bed And it held them ‘til the dawn For with notes and words alone They made a Heartbeat of a Home And it goes on and on and on They’re making something out of nothing When the winter nights were long Come what may They found a way Somewhere in a song
