I will strike the chord
That's honey to your ears
All that's sweet is yours
I will hum a verse
Of melodies rehearsed
And all that's sweet is yours

So here is my offering
Just a downbeat and a string
But to you it's a beautiful thing
And here is what I bring
Only downbeats and a string
And to you
It's beautiful

I will strike the chord
That's honey to your ears
All that's sweet is yours
Loveliness you bring
I can't help but sing
All that's sweet is yours

When it seems I've broken down
When these chords are frail
You look with a smile and you say it's beautiful
