Slow Sun on c4

Verse 1

Pawn to e4, he plays e5 1.e4 e5

Knight to f3, his knight c6 2.Nf3 Nc6

Bishop c4, I'm eyeing f7 3.Bc4

He plays bishop c5, I play c3 3...Bc5 4.c3

Knight to f6, I go d3 4...Nf6 5.d3

He plays d6, we both castle short 5...d6 6.O-O O-O

He wants d5, I want time

The pawn on e5 holds his line

Chorus

Pawn to e4, knight to f3 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6

Bishop c4, eyes on f7 3.Bc4

Pawn c3, pawn d3, no hurry 3...Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d3

Castle short, keep it steady 5...d6 6.O-O

My d-pawn's dreaming of d4

Italian sunshine, slow and sure

Verse 2

Knight to d2, he plays a6 7.Nbd2 a6

Bishop b3, he hides on a7 8.Bb3 Ba7

Pawn h3, then rook e1 9.h3 h6 10.Re1

Rook e8, my knight to f1 10...Re8 11.Nf1

Bishop e6, knight to g3 11...Be6 12.Ng3

Queen d7, I break with d4 12...Qd7 13.d4

Don't rush d4, let the knights land

My rook on e1 holds the stand

Italian sunshine, slow and sure

Bridge

Knight f6 comes, I still play d3 3...Nf6 4.d3

Bishop c5, pawn c3, you'll see 4...Bc5 5.c3

Calm waters, few games get decided

His e5 and my e4 stand divided

My d-pawn's dreaming of d4

Italian sunshine, slow and sure

Outro

Bishop c4, eyes on f7 3.Bc4

Build it slow, then d4 opens the door
