As the piano begins to play all I can think of is you.
Your beautiful golden locks blowing in the wind.
Your smile radiating like the sun in the sky, illuminating the hole in my heart.
And as I sit there listening to the piano playing, all I can feel is the emptiness in my heart.
The emptiness I felt when you died.
The sad song the piano is playing, is causing tears to come to my eyes.
For I know, that life can be a cruel and unforgiving course of life.
I am twenty-one now,
I have my whole life ahead of me.
So why can't I just move on?
Why can't life just give me a break!
I remember, that time I first heard a piano.
Oh how marvelous you looked.
You were wearing a crimson red dress and midnight black heels.
It was a Saturday night.
You had wanted to go to the bar.
The bar I am in right now.
And as we danced arm in arm, I could only feel the happiest I had ever been.
And as our lips touched, I felt the rush of love and pleasure.
The feeling of a my loneliness disappearing like magic.
But that was a long time ago.
Now I sit here, with a beer in my hand listening to the piano play your favorite song
The song that we had danced to all those years ago.
Tears once again come to my eyes as I remember you...
In all your splendor and beauty.
Dancing to the music of the piano for the last time.
