A gloomy sky above me
A puddle on the ground
But something's gotta change
'Cause there's no sunshine to be found
My vision is obscured by these endless murky clouds
But something's gotta change right now
I can hear a faraway sound

I can hear a distant melody
Oh, how it clings to me
On this lovely summer night
My ears are captured by its harmony
It's like a symphony
With a theme so pure and light

A church bell rings
And that soulful trumpet
Sings of lovers lost and found
Listen closely you can hear it roar
A soothing swinging tune
With a melody in C

Can you hear that distant melody?
Oh, how it sends me reeling
Makes my heart take flight
My technicolour ragtime band joins in
Makes all my troubles vanish
Into the pitch dark night
This upbeat tune's
Got me flying to the moon
Sending shivers down my spine

A church bell rings
And that soulful trumpet
Sings of lovers lost and found
Listen closely you can hear it roar
A soothing swinging tune
With a melody in C

Oh, what a melody
Oh, what a melody in C
