Spark in the Café - Bao Binh
Me and hush, mellow hush
The piano shakes a smile
Your cups glow, a secret slow
Then you pause, play some while
I sit, I stare, your crooked crim
A laugh that trips the light
Tiny eyes, a curious flare
You make the ordinary bright
You poke my face for silly things
Your pull and prods tease
I blink, I scold, then grin again
I fall into your ease
The weight of walls across the floor
The moment hangs so sweet
A little part of hopeful green
Appears upon our seat
Oh baby, light the little flame
The tiny flowers sigh
Keep it close, don't let it fade
Teach colors how to fly
We trade our jokes like postcards say
The chess keeps time with hearts
A playful hand, a midnight plan
The story now restarts
Tangle words like satin thread
You say the wildest things
You name my faults in silly tones
And watch the laughter ring
A yogurt set upon the plate
Surprise that it wasn't asked
I pout, I leave, you watch me go
A moment turns to past
Your darkness hides beneath your smile
Your color drains a bit
You send a note that makes a promise
A seed in secret writ
Oh baby, light the little flame
The tiny flowers sigh
Keep it close, don't let it fade
Teach colors how to fly
We trade our jokes like postcards say
The chess keeps time with hearts
A playful hand, a midnight plan
The story now restarts
Still in my palm, the tiny part
I promise to be kind
A flutter foul, a laughter loit's to love
Your mischief on my mind
You and hush, the piano hums
The little plant holds on
A secret kept, a promise set
The daylight moves along
