grand piano

[Verse 1] On the hotel terrace He sits at the grand piano The white tablecloth whispers A warm evening over the water Fingers touch the keys And the great hall falls silent Only the cups on their saucers Hear this soft, musical volley [Pre-Chorus] And someone slows their pace And someone forgets about sleep As he leads the melody Up the steps into a quiet home [Chorus] On the terrace, a grand piano And the whole world is on pause You hear the days melting away When he plays for us On the terrace, a grand piano And the heart holds its course One simple melody And you are sad no more [Verse 2] Beyond the lights at the pier The hot summer day is fading He plays so calmly As if he knows everyone there A reflection in every gaze Someone’s pain in every sound And at the edge of the night He finds the secret key to it [Pre-Chorus] And someone slows their pace And someone forgets about sleep As he leads the melody Up the steps into a quiet home [Chorus] On the terrace, a grand piano And the whole world is on pause You hear the days melting away When he plays for us On the terrace, a grand piano And the heart holds its course One simple melody And you are sad no more [Bridge] Let the wind turn the page Let the cups clink in the distance He stakes everything we failed to save On the purity of the sound And if the dawn departs Leaving a shadow on the glass His quiet, white light Will still remain within you [Chorus] On the terrace, a grand piano And the whole world is on pause You hear the days melting away When he plays for us On the terrace, a grand piano And the heart holds its course One simple melody And you... You're not sad anymore.
