The New Sun by Lori Yamamoto

Verse 1 Steam from coffee cup You sat at corner table there Asked about my songs Simple words but they felt so warm Stranger who listened to my music Verse 2 You said melody Was like light you could almost see Casual kindness But it touched something deep inside me Soul that often feels quietly spent Chorus Oh the world widens Like ripples in my coffee cup New thread appears In tapestry I thought was done You build bridge from your yesterday song Verse 3 You asked if I built My music in the sun and rain Such simple question But no one ever asked me that way Weight of words you sent without knowing Verse 4 We traded our ghosts And quiet four morning time fears Wrapped in rhythm Sent to place that felt like small gift Simple "let's try" made something beautiful Chorus Oh the world widens Like ripples in my coffee cup New thread appears In tapestry I thought was done You build bridge from your yesterday song Bridge We wrote many songs At this same table every day Your notebook open My guitar resting in my warm hands Melodies growing between us two Circle gets bigger In this quiet coffee shop corner Where stranger became Someone who sees light in my melodies Two people hanging new sun for day Outro The world just widens Widens like morning through window New sun for the day Yes we just hung new sun together In this small place where music lives
