Piano Music The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. At the grand piano sits a young, fine man a younger girl, lovely, and his devoted fan watches, enraptured, as the ivories his fingers kiss his playing becomes to her, sweet, sheer bliss. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. Oh the piano player plays with such great delight the evening lasts forever, and long past midnight, the dawning rays come pink to the young girl’s cheek the music’s entrancement she will forever seek. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. The piano player, his fingers were nimble and strong he dipped and stroked the milk white keys as if they belonged to no other lover, neither now, nor then, and the middle aged woman quivers, remembering when... The music, the music, oh the music played on for dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music played on. In the memory of the old maiden’s loving mind “if the music lives in your heart, you’ll forever be mine,” the piano player gone, the sweet sad words he wrote... she will always recall this, the piano player’s notes. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. The old maiden sighs, her breathing becomes light once again a girl under the candlelabra’s lights, golden haired, beautiful, with pink tinged cheeks listening for her piano player, his music she seeks. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music long gone. ©KRJ 28 August, 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I loved it! I have one with the same title. Nice to share the love of the piano. Have you tried to put this to music? It would make an excellent song! ------------------ *shadowy-one* |

Wow, phenomenal!! This drew me in from the start, and kept me entranced until the last word. Wonderful, exellent!! A bittersweet story, with music woven in.  ------------------ *Krista Knutson* I see the world through the loving eyes of my heart, and suffer the pain of unfulfilled visions. -- Daniel L. Miller |
