1937 Pre-War Kimball
Oh, It sat in this corner for many a year Through fireside parties, of tear and cheers The hands of James Hooker flew over it's keys And God know who else 'fore it came to me When I was alone I could be Julie Gold It rang her "From A Distance" just like it was my own I'd pretend I've the voice of Beth Neilsen Chapman I wrote "Late Night Grande (Hotel)" With just my right hand happenin' [Chorus:] Now it's the keys rent the air in it's new place to stand A gift for the children who'll play right and left hand Just a 1937 Pre-war Kimball Oh, the grace of that three-quarter grand Oh, the grace of that three-quarter grand Oh, the grace of that three-quarter grand Oh, it's lonesome in this corner at five am I'd call Harlan Howard, only he'd understand All those melodies that came to be Mornings in that corner... that piano and me I wish for a left hand like Glenn D.

Let it go That piano I bought from Al Jones long ago I've let it go, I've let it go I smiled as it rolled out my door The songs that we wrote, ah, note for note That piano will always know [Chorus] And God bless the child Who's got a song Who's got a song Who's got a song From Letras Mania
