LIVING ROOM MUSIC Laura Sandage 2004

Stage lights can be too bright to handle
Oh, for the glow of a half-melted candle
A place where the chairs are comfy and wide
Old friends invite you inside
The dog puts her head in your lap
At the very same moment, toes start to tap
Your voice finds a place in the newly born song
Maybe life was this good all along

(chorus)
Living room music, that’s what I crave
It has a sweetness we all love to savor
Living room music is just among friends
Where the wounded soul of music mends

Enough with the laugh tracks and pop hits
Songs manufactured from machine-produced bits
Easy listening while you wait on the phone
Grab a friend, play a tune of your own

It might sound uncertain at first
It won’t be the greatest, but it won’t be the worst
It’ll keep getting better, like wine or like cheese
And there’s no one else you need to please

chorus
