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 whileThey'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 SurvivedBy making something out of nothing
When the winter nights were long
But come what may
They found a way
Somewhere in a songWhen 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
By making something out of nothing
When the winter nights were long
But come what may
They found a way
Somewhere in a song
