Silence held the morning
with the first frost of fall
glazing the windows as he made
for the hall

and in the silence
from the jazz laden morning
came a soft piano melody
as fingers sweetly played hesitantly...
on ebony ivory piano keys

and somewhere she lies
a lullaby touched his heart
Sinatra swooned
as others in the distance cry

He and Frankie Crooned
You, oh you... I love you...
"Ole Devil Moon"

Great visuals, plus Old Blue Eyes, and you have captured the essence of the mood. Great going.

Enjoyed.
