Lyrics
A half cup of coffee and 88 keys
My black and white look up at me
Sometimes it’s hard to say what I’m feeling
So I prefer to sing
When did we stop
Saying please and thank you
You were my rock
But lately I don’t even know you
This house feels cold as the question unfolds
When did we stop
Five stolen moments is all that it takes
To give to your song each day
But left alone for too long
And your song could slip away
When did we stop
Saying please and thank you
You were my rock
But lately I don’t even know you
This house feels cold as the question unfolds
When did we stop
Lyric and melody
Phrasing and harmony
Chord choice and structure
Near rhymes and rhyme schemes
When did we stop
Saying please and thank you
You were my rock
But lately I don’t even know you
This house feels cold as the question unfolds
When did we stop
