The Music Plays
I’m sitting by your feet and the piano plays
 You look at me and smile and I do the same
 My heart beats faster as you joke with me
 Slows down again as you play in minor key
 I wonder if 
 You’re really sad
 I wonder if
 You’re thinking of her
 
 There’s a play going on in front of us
 But I’m not paying attention at all
 I’m just still
 As I watch you
 As far as I can tell you’re only
 Paying attention to me and the keys
 And my heart leaps 
 As I dream
 
 I’m sitting by your feet and the piano plays
 You look at me and smile and I do the same
 My heart beats faster as you joke with me
 Slows down again as you play in minor key
 I wonder if 
 You’re really sad
 I wonder if
 You’re thinking of her
 
 I can dream that when you play you’re thinking of her
 That the pain in your song is how you really feel
 When you’re with her
 And that the reason you started to play happily 
 When I came over, was because you saw me 
 Because of me
 But I can see
 
 I’m sitting by your feet and the piano plays
 You look at me and smile and I do the same
 My heart beats faster as you joke with me
 Slows down again as you play in minor key
 I wonder if 
 You’re really sad
 I wonder if
 You’re thinking of her
 
 I think about how my songs
 Are everything my heart longs
 All the things that I can’t say
 I wonder if you’re sending my way
 Your true thoughts
 Your true mind
 I wish with all my heart it’s true
 As I’m sitting here
 Joking with you 
 And when you return
 To your keys
 I sit and stare
 
 I’m sitting by your feet and the piano plays
 You look at me and smile and I do the same
 My heart beats faster as you joke with me
 Slows down again as you play in minor key
 I wonder if 
 You’re really sad
 I wonder if
 You’re thinking of her
 
 I’ll sit by your feet as the piano plays
 As long as you’ll let me, to the end of days
 I’ll be your friend
 I’ll joke with you
 I’ll be the one you can trust
 And just maybe
 Eventually
 I’ll be sitting next to you on the bench
 Your arm around me as you play 
 One handed
 That’s my dream
 And so I will wait
 As the music plays
 The music plays
