[Verse 1] Downstairs they’re playing Kenton     The house set to swing    Am9          E7#9#5 I lay in my bed And listen to everything   Cause Leo’s in rare form tonight His trombone sings so sweet Am9         E7(#9#5) This is the room Where they all come to meet [Chorus] And 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           I do what I can I do what I can [Verse 2] Downstairs he’s playing Kenton        The Magnavox sighs But oh how the music has changed In all of our lives He says "nobody listens To modern jazz" And I’ll never have what those guys have    [Chorus] And he said: I do what I can      I work for a living And that’s who I am        Yeah that’s who I am                      And its good to be alive    But ev’rything’s different Since Leo died         I do what I can I do what I can [Instrumental] Asus Asus4sus2 [Bridge] Dm7                      Asus      Am Is this the end of the modern world? E7                 Asus4sus2       Am What could it mean for a young girl     Dm          Asus         Am Who sees the pain on his face?    E7                Asus4sus2  Am He does what he can Dm                    Asus       Am The procession on the T.V. screen E7           Asus4sus2  Am What could it possibly mean       Dm                  Asus For a man who’s come this far Just to turn around                        Fmaj7          Asus         Am Could there still be life in Kenton’s swing            E7               Asus4sus2 Am With the Kennedys gone and everything Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers Bb9                       E7sus Riots down the street and discontented mothers We do what we can       [Verse 3] Am9              E7(#9#5) Downstairs it’s quiet Am9              E7(#9#5) Less alive somehow Somehow he was everything that I am now [Chorus] He says: I do what I can      I work for a living And that’s who I am        Yeah that’s who I am                      And its good to be alive    And these are the choices We make to survive     We do what we can

La chanson évoque un moment de vie simple et authentique, où le narrateur se retrouve dans une ambiance musicale chaleureuse, tout en réfléchissant aux réalités de l'existence. L'artiste parle de l'importance de profiter du moment présent et de faire ce que l'on peut, malgré les difficultés. Il met en avant la nostalgie d'une époque révolue, marquée par des souvenirs et des rencontres, tout en soulignant la douleur liée à la perte d'un ami. Le contexte présente une scène où la musique résonne, mais où la vie a changé, en particulier après la mort d'une figure marquante. Cette dualité entre la joie de vivre et les disparitions rappelle que chaque instant mérite d'être chéri, même face aux défis et à la tristesse.
