Piano Man

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The Regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Chorus
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright

All Evalynn wants to do is play the piano.
because when she does she can...
remember her mom who died in a car accident
feel like she is making her grandma, who died of a heart attack several days later,and also got her playing the piano,proud
and forget about her father ,a man who has never been there for evalynn
finally be at peace
but one day she sees a poster for the annual town talent show and decides not to do it
that is before flinn changes her mind
flinn is a 22 year old amn who has a soft spot for instruments of all kind, especially the piano
so when he hears 18 year old evalynn playing it in a music store called linda's he is baffled and tells her to sign up for the talent show but only on one condition
if he helps her prepare for it.
