[00:17.05] My father's pride
[00:19.58] Was in his hands
[00:22.27] The piano was his soul
[00:28.13] I watched him wondered
[00:31.08] As he played show tums
[00:33.66] Miles from rock and roll
[00:39.72] What he loved
[00:41.44] He tought me
[00:45.08] Now music's what I do
[00:50.59] And often
[00:52.36] When I'm writing
[00:55.42] In my hands
[00:58.60] Dad's there too
[01:03.61] If I sing
[01:06.44] You are the music
[01:09.84] If I fly
[01:12.93] You're why I'm good
[01:16.42] If my hands
[01:19.04] Can find some magic
[01:22.28] You're the one
[01:24.92] Who said they could
[01:27.94] When the child
[01:30.73] Who's still inside me
[01:33.91] Find the song in empty air
[01:39.57] When there is joy
[01:42.21] In making music
[01:45.39] It is you Dad
[01:54.51] There
[01:59.98] My dad grew old
[02:02.56] His hands grew numbed
[02:05.44] And now he cannot play
[02:11.97] I came to visit
[02:14.60] He sat and asked me
[02:17.18] How could it be this way?
[02:23.09] I couldn't find an answer
[02:28.26] I played this tum for him instead
[02:33.82] My father sat there smiling
[02:38.58] For he knew
[02:42.17] What is said
[02:46.57] If I sing
[02:49.41] You are the music
[02:52.65] If I love
[02:55.68] You tought me how
[02:58.92] Every day your heart is beating
[03:04.79] In the man that I am now
[03:09.99] If my years are tum to wonder
[03:15.67] If when I reach the cords I've hear
[03:21.07] If there is joy in making music
[03:26.92] It's the joy that we both share
[03:35.12] I never told you
[03:37.96] It took time till I could see
[03:43.27] That If I sing
[03:45.90] You are the music
[03:49.03] And you always sing
[03:54.22] In me
[04:04.70] Yes, you always live in me
