A Thousand Plays

A thousand little moments found their way to me

A note passed through a window, a song across the sea

You pressed play in the morning, you stayed for one more song

Now every quiet kindness has been carrying us along

I know each listen has a life behind the screen

A kitchen, a long ride, a day that needed company

Thank you for a thousand plays

For giving these small songs a place

Every time you stopped to stay

You made this feel a little less alone

Thank you, every voice and name

No two days are ever quite the same

A thousand plays, and still I’m amazed

You made a little room and let this grow

Somewhere someone’s walking with these words beside their coat

Someone’s washing dishes, someone’s humming every note

I can’t see the rooms you’re in, but I can feel you near

So here’s a little thank-you sent from over here

For every share, each kind reply

For finding something of your own inside

Thank you for a thousand plays

For giving these small songs a place

Every time you stopped to stay

You made this feel a little less alone

Thank you, every voice and name

No two days are ever quite the same

A thousand plays, and still I’m amazed

You made a little room and let this grow

One by one, the numbers climb

But what I’ll keep is your borrowed time

If one tune made a hard day bend

Then I’ve already found a friend

Thank you for a thousand plays

For giving these small songs a place

Every time you stopped to stay

You made this feel a little less alone

Thank you, every voice and name

No two days are ever quite the same

A thousand plays, and still I’m amazed

You made a little room and let this grow

A thousand times, thank you

I’m glad you found your way
