I' ve allways known what lies ahead Remembered what my papa said: You only reap the harvest that you sow And all my life I' ve tryed my best: Better grades than all the rest I've allways been defined by what I know And once I'd found the joyous sound: A piano in the music room at school Just five years old my heart was sold The only kid that thought that scales were cool The only kid that thought that scales were cool
So mama worked,she'd never sleep 'Cos piano lessons don't come cheap That's when I learned a mother's love is all She scrimped and scraped and planned and schemed And when she tucked me in we dreamed Then one day I would play Carnegie Hall
One Christmas Eve Would you believe? A piano stood beside the Christmas Tree The sacrefice my papa made for me
I once was sure I knew the score before this " boy meets girl" came into sight And now this guy Is bound to try to catch my eye But then again he might Perhaps the scales can wait for just one night
