There I was in the lounge
Thinking what music shall I listen to,
I know, I thought,
I’ll put some Beethoven on.
So I found his Fifth Symphony,
A piece I had not played for a very long time.
I had heard it on the radio
But didn’t really listen to it,
I knew it so well,
But this was the first time,
The first time I had LISTENED to it,
Really listened to it
For a long time.
There I was carried away,
Carried away by this music,
This glorious music.
I was conducting it,
Smiling all over.
I listen to music all the time
But this took me back,
Back to those times
When I played Beethoven more often.
So once more music astounded me
As it so often does,
So often does in my wonderful life.
My wonderful life of music.
