To Mr. Piano Man


Mr. Piano Man, 
Please don't tune me out. 
I know you've heard my songs a million times
but that doesn't make them dull. 
My singing doesn't loose the sweet
just because it's normal. 
My notes ring true regardless of the ears they fall on. 

Tune me in and listen for a minute
and remember again how we fell in love.
How you sang harmonies into me
and my keys danced with your fingers. 
My moments in your desire
burn a chord no one else knows.
I preach to the choir
because choirs forget.
Don't let me be casual.
Don't resist my regularity.

You been deaf to me for so long. 
You've tuned into yourself
and your strings hold still.
I can awaken you to your chord;
lift you back to pitch;
we can harmonize a wondrous waltz.
Please, Mr. Piano Man, 
hear me again.
