The Piano Dude

There was a small boy learning to play the keyboard across the street from where I used to live and he always played the theme to the movie Titanic...I think it was the only song he knew..one day I yelled across the street and asked him his name and told him I enjoyed his serenade, he answered back...I'm just the piano dude.....so this is for him The piano dude plays his melody Sending Titanic's theme across the wind Notes rising, flying far from the sea As if a message to us all to send Listen from here far below This place where beauty should never go Unsinkable ship or so they said Yet here am I all but dead Hear me as I send my song Close your eyes and dream along Listen and always remember well The perfect ship, that pride befell ©Donna Jones
