"Love wants to stay" sings the piano man;
notes flutter around the room with such ease
He takes us back to where it all began
He takes us back to where it all began
knowingly fingering old ivories
Piano man's hands magically transcend
all time, underscore scenes kept in our hearts
Soundtracks of our lives airily suspend
how autumn leaves fall, how love falls apart
Sheet music that maps comedy and pain
Lyrics we know, oh so well, as lovers
who never wanted the love to wane
memories of being left for another
He plays keys that once sparked love and still do
he sits in the dim corner on his stool
Music's a vessel for written poetry
The story 'bout "My Baby", you on a train
Of love always wanting, fighting to be
The night you left me naked in the rain
Applause for the piano man's talentall time, underscore scenes kept in our hearts
Soundtracks of our lives airily suspend
how autumn leaves fall, how love falls apart
Sheet music that maps comedy and pain
Lyrics we know, oh so well, as lovers
who never wanted the love to wane
memories of being left for another
He plays keys that once sparked love and still do
he sits in the dim corner on his stool
Music's a vessel for written poetry
The story 'bout "My Baby", you on a train
Of love always wanting, fighting to be
The night you left me naked in the rain
new lyrics don't erase old melodies
whether smooth jazz, hip hop or classical
it''s how you touch those fine black and white keys
I still believe that love does want to stay
that it never really wants to leave pain
pianissimo and allegro play
Yes, love instead always wants to remain
Piano man sounds mellow, calm and cool
gold stars on a carpet deep midnight blue
gold stars on a carpet deep midnight blue
