Do you know who played your song . . .

Have you ever asked?

If not then who?

Someone put in a request . . .

You were requested

Chosen

A jamming groove

Millions of songs

Countless selections

Classical

Country

Rhythm and blues

It was you that was chosen

I can imagine your sound on their lips

On their tongues the slight

Tilt of a head before the eyes

Closed lost in time with you

The way they slid over to the Dj

Told him to put you on

How they needed you

And when your bass dropped

How they cut your name in the dance floor

Smooth hummed you all the way home

Couldn’t get you out of their mind

Yes oh yes . . . you must be someone’s favorite tune
