When love gave me her rich rewards Then took away my major woes I stumbled on such sweet repose In a minor key When tow weary hearts Enter wide open spaces It’s enough for a while just to smile But should love endure Then the smiles on thier faces Turn to bitter tears Back to tears of joy I’m living in a minor key A bitter-sweet tranquility A placw where nothing touches me Nor ever will Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da A sad familiar melody Comes singing through the Room to me Whenever I an by your side I take a ride down memory lane And face the truth I’m back again In a minor key Rain falls on the roof As we lie here together Laughing at the jokes Only you and I will ever understand Linger for a while In the pool of emotion Let the water rise Take your time and see You’ll find it in a minor key I’m living in a minor key A melancholy mystery A quiet place where you and me Can be quite still Piano plays a minor chord And I’m reminded of the day When love gave me her rich rewards Then took away my major woes I stumbled on such sweet repose GRAND ADVENTURE Hoi, hoi, hoi, hoi, hoi Hoi, hoi,
