Piano

Piano, bring back the man I used to know
Piano, show me again that wondrous woman in blue
The music she made; I foolishly thought was for me

Piano, bring a smile back to my tired lips
Piano, bring some life back in my fingertips
The life has gone out; and my eyes do not see

Piano, remind me of those days when I was strong
Piano, remind me of when the minutes were long
The smile I gave her; and she gave it back to me

Piano, I know now that she loved you
Piano, I know she would have died for you
The magic that bled from you; it came with a fee

Piano, you know the words she said to me
Piano, you know the songs she played for me
The moments we shared in the brief concert

Piano, you know how sweetly she sang
Piano, you know how beautifully she played,
The end was so long ago; of that wondrous symphony

Piano, keep her safe, keep her heart light
Piano, keep her joyful, keep her eyes bright
The moments we shared; close to her heart

Piano, I want nothing from you; but a promise

Piano, as you remind me of her, remind her of me
