That old piano still stands
Stored with memories
Of that music hall
Filled with melodies,
We were all so young
Way back long ago
When that music hall piano man
Played his piano.

He knew every tune by heart
Never missed a key
Every night he came
Always played for free,
Just to see our smiles
Music from above
When that music hall piano man
Played for us with love.

How we sang and clapped our hands
Dancing many hours
In our music hall
Happiness was ours,
Sometimes we just would
Listen while he played
When the music hall piano man
All did serenade.

How the people loved him so
Every night they came
Just to hear him play,
They all knew his name
Shouted it out more
When that music hall piano man
Played them an encore.

But now this hall is empty
No music to find
But I still hear him
Playing in my mind,
Eyes closed I can see
Great times to applaud
When this music hall piano man
Played on his keyboard.
