[Verse 1]
Maki
In the kitchen light
Laughing while the rice boils high
Chloe on a wooden chair
You lean down
Teach her every line
Luke’s small hands
Searching keys
You sit close
Count out “one
Two
Three”
Every note he plays off-beat
You just smile and say
“That’s sweet”
[Chorus]
Maki
My melody
Every day you sing this home awake
You hold our little world in harmony
Giving more than you ever take
If love had a simple name
It would sound like you to me
Maki
My melody
You’re my favorite song to sing
[Verse 2]
Sunday shoes by our front door
You hum tunes while folding clothes
Quiet talks at half past ten
You’re still asking how I’ve been
You don’t ask for something grand
Just two kids’ hands in your hand
Somehow you make ordinary
Feel like some old love story
[Chorus]
Maki
My melody
Every day you sing this home awake
You hold our little world in harmony
Giving more than you ever take
If love had a simple name
It would sound like you to me
Maki
My melody
You’re my favorite song to sing
[Bridge]
One day Chloe will sing alone (oh-oh)
Luke will find his own new roads
But in every note they carry
There’s a part of you they’ll keep
And when the house is quiet
Still
I’ll reach out and I always will
Lay my head on your shoulder
Say
“You’re the song that saved my days”
[Chorus]
Maki
My melody
Every day you sing this home awake
You hold our little world in harmony
Giving more than you ever take
If love had a simple name
It would sound like you to me
Maki
My melody
You’re my favorite song to sing
(Maki, my melody)
You’re my always
Everything
