Pitch Pipe Overture

Sing for me and make it a cappella,
an album of musical afternoons;
By the light of the old candelabra
with a pitch pipe harness exotic tunes;

Your voice a passport to a far off land
no need for any accompaniment;
Colorful suitcase let me hold your hand 
I’m smitten by the vocal enchantment;

That accent so deliciously foreign 
I want to lick it clean off of your lips;
When can we go to the airport again?
I revel in all of our first class trips;

The moment the last song is in the air
I’ve begun planning our next overture.
