ฟังเพลงIf I Sing

My father's pride was in his hands

the piano was his soul

I watched in wonder

As he played show tunes

miles off from rock and roll

what he loved he taught me

now music's what I do

And often when I'm writing

In my hands

dad's there too

If I sing

you are the music

If I fly

you're why I'm good

If my hands can find some magic

you're the one who said they could

When the child who's still inside me

finds a song in empty air

When there is joy in making music

It is you who put it there

My dad grew old

his hands grew numb

And now he can not play

I came to visit

He sat and asked me

how it could be this way

I couldn't find an answer

I played this tune for him instead

My father sat there smiling

For he knew what it said

If I sing you are the music

If I love you taught me how

Every day your heart is beating

In the man that I am now

If my ears are tuned to wonder

If when I reach

The chords are there

If there is joy in making music

It's a joy that we both share

I never told you

It took time till I could see

That if I sing

You are the music

And you'll always sing in me

Yes you'll always live in me
