Play Me In Your Key.

What melody is that which I hear? Is it the notes that a maestro directs his orchestra to? Is the sounds that a tenor flute emits as you make love to me? Play me in your key. I hear the universal language of mankind, that dual melody as you play me in your key. I am the horizontal line on which your notes are written. That crescendo of multiple rhythms played simultaneously, never out of sync never off beat as you play me in your key. I am the lyric that you have composed softly. You are the composer and I am your opus, tune into me as you play me in your key. I sigh softly dolce as your fingers caress me like the ivory keys on a baby grand piano, I only know that melody as you play me in your key. As you play I become Venus the goddess of love while you are my cupid and my Eros, play me but play me in your key. What melodies do you now compose is that smooth jazz that makes me sway, like strings on a harp as you play, play me as you would a flute, but play me in your key. I am lyrical, I am symphonic, I am like a woodwind that stringed instrument that your fingers caress and glide from b to C to D, play me in your key. I am a Cuban drum rocking to the beat as your voice in baritone and sometimes tenor Makes the soprano in me complete, play me in your key. Tune me pianissimo like you Would a concert piano, in the cords of I love you, thank you for being my wife, once again in the cord of C, play me in your key. I am your medley as you play me by ear, I am you reprise and your refrain, I sound like angels voices, play me with one hand or two let me make musical notes for you. I am your tune your note your melody as you play me in your key.
