Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch Such a long lonely time Time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love Godspeed your love to me
I love a piano I love a piano I love to hear somebody play On a piano A grand piano It simply carries me away I know a fine way To treat a Steinway I love to run my fingers O'er the keys, the ivories I love to meddle With every pedal When Paderewski comes my way I'm so excited When I'm invited To hear that rag top genius play So you can keep your fiddle Keep your bow Give me a P-I-A-N-O, oh, oh! I love to sit right Upon an upright Or a high toned baby grand
(Irving Berlin)
(I put all the words because I think they're just unmatched in wit and all-around cleverness!)
Where do I begin To tell the story of how great a love can be A sweet love story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor That leads your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love, it is a flower And you it's only seed
Take me in your arms and never let me go Whisper to me softly while the moon is low Hold me close and tell me what I want to know Say it to me gently: let the sweet talk flow Come a little closer Make love to me
For 25 years I've washed your clothes, Cooked your meals, cleaned your house Given you children, milked the cow After 25 years, why talk about love right now?
It's very clear Our love is here to stay Not for a year Forever, and a day [snip] In time, the Rockies may crumble Gibraltar may tumble They're only made of clay But Our love is here to stay

I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
