FOR THE LOVE OF PLAYING

SHEET MUSIC COLLECTION

The piano waits.

Silent, poised and ready.

Sit down, stay a while. The world turns regardless.

Start slow, naïve and unguided, like the steps of a child.

Sit down, stay a while. Devoid of fear or falter.

It’s already here, like a storm overhead.

Let the rains fall and let the sun shine.

Sit down, stay a while.

Learn the notes, play the music.

Play the music, play the music.

Behind the keys
