Click Clack, Ding Dong and Charlie Chan

What a sentimental song this score is. The movie hit too close to home.

So tenderly
Your story is
Nothing more
Than what you see
Or what you've done
Or will become
Standing strong
Do you belong
In your skin
Just wondering

Gentle now
The tender breeze blows
Whispers through my Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song

Engine humms
And bitter dreams
Grow heart locked
In a Gran Torino
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long

Realign
All the stars
Above my head
Warning signs
Travel far
I drink instead
On my own
Oh! How I've known
The battle scars
And worn out beds

Gentle now
A tender breeze blows
Whispers through
A Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song

Engines humm
And bitter dreams
Grow heart locked
In a Gran Torino
It beats
A lonely rhythm all night long

These streets
Are old they shine
With the things I've known
And breaks through the trees
Their sparkling

Your world
Is nothing more
Than all the tiny things
You've left behind

So tenderly
Your story is
Nothing more
Than what you see
Or what you've done
Or will become
Standing strong
Do you belong
In your skin
Just wondering

Gentle now
A tender breeze blows
Whispers through
The Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song

Engines humm
And bitter dreams grow
A heart locked
In a Gran Torino
It beats
A lonely rhythm all night long

May I be so bold and stay
I need someone to hold
That shudders my skin
Their sparkling

Your world
Is nothing more
Than all the tiny things
You've left behind

So realign
All the stars above my head
Warning signs travel far
I drink instead
On my own
Oh! How I've known
The battle scars
And worn out beds

Gentle now
A tender breeze blows
Whispers through
The Gran Torino
Whistling another tired song

Engines humm
And better dreams grow
Heart locked
In a Gran Torino
It beats
A lonely rhythm all night long
It beats
A lonely rhythm all night long
It beats
A lonely rhythm all night long


--Gran Torino, Jamie Cullum
