lyrics
(domino tiles shuffle on a table) He asks my name. Then he plays. He calls me "senorita" now Polite, like we just met He shuffles fichas anyhow And wins — he don't forget (como se llama?) The nurses say, "try singing" So I start an old one, slow And his voice comes in, ringing Every word — he knows, he knows (he knows, he knows) Sing with me, sing with me Where the words live, you're still with me Sing with me, sing with me Third verse, papa — you carry me (otra, otra) I brought the photos, page by page He stopped on one of me at three He tapped it twice: "she sings onstage" "She sings," he said, "she sings like me" (like me, like me) One day the songs go too I know, I know it's true So I press record on my phone Every duet — he's never gone (press record, press record) Sing with me, sing with me Forget my name — keep the melody Sing with me, sing with me I'll hold the words, you hold the key (ay, papa) (tiles click, one by one) He plays the six. He wins. (buenas noches, senorita)
