Sarah Brown Eyes
[COALHOUSE, spoken]
What's your name?
[SARAH, spoken]
Sarah.
[COALHOUSE, spoken]
I'm Coalhouse.
[SARAH, spoken]
I know.
[COALHOUSE]
There was no music
In my heart tonight
Melodies kept refusin' to flow
One look at you
Now every note feels right
Comin' out all sweet and slow
[SARAH]
You tell stories
Like your hands play tunes
[COALHOUSE]
Sweetest tune I know
Is Sarah Brown Eyes
Don't be shy, now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Oughta take a chance
The stars are silver notes
Across that sky now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Come, let's dance
[SARAH]
I never heard no music
Quite like yours
Where'd you learn
How to play it that way?
Was I smart
I'd walk right out those doors
[COALHOUSE]
Then I've got to make you stay
[SARAH & COALHOUSE]
Nothing for it but a ragtime tune
On that piano
Sarah Brown Eyes
Don't be shy now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Oughta take a chance
The stars are silver notes
Across that sky now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Come, let's dance
Silver notes
Across that sky now
Sarah Brown Eyes
Come, let's—
[SARAH]
Dance
[COALHOUSE, spoken]
I said no music!
[COALHOUSE FOLLOWER, spoken]
He's here.
[COALHOUSE, spoken]
Bring him in.
