Old Upright Piano |
For as long as I remember, when Friday night came round |
The family would gather out at grandpa’s house |
With supper over and the dishes done |
It was then the best time came |
At an old upright piano that only grandma played |
She played beautiful dreamer, my wild Irish rose; |
She never played 'em perfect, but there was love in every note |
Grandpa sat beside her, in harmony they sang |
At the old upright piano that only grandma played |
Grandpa was a stubborn man, they said it was his style |
Grandma called him ornery, but she said it with a smile |
Even he could not disguise the love he felt so strong; |
We all could see it in his eyes when she played his favorite song |
She played beautiful dreamer, my wild Irish rose; |
She never played 'em perfect, but there was love in every note |
Grandpa sat beside her, in harmony they sang |
At the old upright piano that only grandma played |
I was almost 17 when my grandma died; |
I stayed all night with grandpa; |
the old man never cried |
He sat at her piano, there was nothing we could say |
It was the first time in my life I ever heard my grandpa play |
It wasn’t beautiful dreamer or my wild Irish rose |
It was a song he played from memory & he never missed a note |
I sat right there beside him until the morning came |
What a friend we have in Jesus was the only song he played |
She played beautiful dreamer, my wild Irish rose; |
She never played 'em perfect, but there was love in every note |
Grandpa sat beside her, in harmony they sang |
At the old upright piano that only grandma played |
