《If I Sing》歌词

[00:00:17] My father's pride was in his hands

[00:00:23] the piano was his soul

[00:00:28] I watched in wonder

[00:00:31] As he played show tunes

[00:00:34] miles off from rock and roll

[00:00:39] what he loved he taught me

[00:00:45] now music's what I do

[00:00:50] And often when I'm writing

[00:00:54] In my hands

[00:00:58] dad's there too

[00:01:04] If I sing

[00:01:08] you are the music

[00:01:11] If I fly

[00:01:13] you're why I'm good

[00:01:17] If my hands can find some magic

[00:01:23] you're the one who said they could

[00:01:29] When the child who's still inside me

[00:01:35] finds a song in empty air

[00:01:40] When there is joy in making music

[00:01:46] It is you who put it there

[00:01:59] My dad grew old

[00:02:02] his hands grew numb

[00:02:05] And now he can not play

[00:02:10] I came to visit

[00:02:13] He sat and asked me

[00:02:16] how it could be this way

[00:02:21] I couldn't find an answer

[00:02:27] I played this tune for him instead

[00:02:32] My father sat there smiling

[00:02:37] For he knew what it said

[00:02:48] If I sing you are the music

[00:02:55] If I love you taught me how

[00:03:00] Every day your heart is beating

[00:03:06] In the man that I am now

[00:03:12] If my ears are tuned to wonder

[00:03:17] If when I reach

[00:03:20] The chords are there

[00:03:23] If there is joy in making music

[00:03:29] It's a joy that we both share

[00:03:37] I never told you

[00:03:39] It took time till I could see

[00:03:45] That if I sing

[00:03:47] You are the music

[00:03:50] And you'll always sing in me

[00:04:04] Yes you'll always live in me
