we do what we can

downstairs they're playing kenton

the house set to swing

i lay in my bed

and listen to everything

cause leo's in rare form tonight

his trombone sings so sweet

this is the room

where they all come to meet

he said

i do what i can

i live for the moment

and that's who i am

yeah that's who i am

and isn't it good

if we could freeze moments in time

we all would

but i do what i can

i do what i can

downstairs he's playing kenton

the magnavox sighs

but oh how the music has changed

in all of our lives

he says nobody listens
