(Forgive my voice cracking I have a sore throat)
Mr. Piano Man play my favorite song
I know the words so I’ll sing along
You wrote the lyrics just for me
Elegant chords with every key
Mesmerized sitting with your baby grand
Beautiful melody with the touch of your hand
Hammering away on the black and whites
Heart dancing with much delight
Pedaling notes singing my favorite song
Laying on your piano where I belong

Thank you, Eric 🙂 I tried so hard not to have any southern touch. I think I probably tried so hard that i made it worse… That on top of my sore throat. Ugh! I think my voice recording days should be over! 🙂 You have a great day. Thank you for the sweet words. 🙂 ❤️✨❤️ 😉

Haha! Good old Billy Joel. He was my brother’s favourite growing up. As soon as I started reading your poem I thought of him (Billy) and then ‘voila’ there’s the video. You sound like such a southern belle. Great.

Thank you, Staci! 😊 There was no other song that was perfect for the piece. He is an amazing artist. I still can hear “Uptown Girl” singing on the radio. Love that song.
You always are so positive and encouraging. Thank you!! ❤️ 😉

Haha…. I wouldn’t suggest that… lol! But it would be interesting to hear you without a sore throat too 😊 Anyway, I loved to hear how you sound. 💖 When I had my first year anniversary on WordPress I recorded a short message but you can listen to my voice also through my songs:
