Mary Lee Kortes - The Old Piano Bench

On my old piano bench
With the ghost of a friend
Making rhymes and amends all day
Too rah loo too rah lay
Here we go come what may
On my old piano bench all day
 
And the notes climb the stair
One by one, some by pair
Melody on a dare today
Every note stretches on
String of pearls, white and long
As I sit on my bench and play
 
And the world turns around
With the slightest of sounds
All the storms held and bound at bay
I can ride on my dreams
Far away though it seems
I just sit on my bench all day
 
Lonely in the afternoon
Listen to the birds
Sing a lonely tune
 
Magic everywhere in music
I'm the lucky one
I get to infuse it in everyone
 
And I think of myself
Partly grand, partly elf
And I'm younger at heart each day
While my heart starts to swell
On my still carousel
Round the world on my bench all day
 
All the strangers I meet
Say Bonjour, Toute de suite
Ciao bella and Auf wiedersehen
I can fly all around
With my feet on the ground
As I sit on my bench and play
 
Lonely in the afternoon
Living on a cloud, floating on a tune
Magic everywhere in music
Go ahead and try, you can't refuse it
 
Too rah loo too rah lay
Here we go come what may
Melody on a dare today
Too rah loo, too rah lie
Melody take me high
And away
As I sit on my bench
On my old piano bench
As I sit on my bench and play
All day
