Coretta Scott Piano Lyrics

Piano Lyrics



I am black keys scattered and afraid

sounds like our notes could never agree

Perfectly ivory

play me something happy



The eyes that trace cedar and feel melody

or those that just stare and never agree

Perfectly ivory

Play me something happy



Finding the note to end on

21 years and the same selfish song

God put you in my piano love dreams

All of my warm words are coming out mean



Finding the note to end on

21 years and the same selfish song

God put you in my piano love dreams

So don't wake me up while I sleep



Woke up alone again

and I traced the sheets to find you'd left

left side of my bed, left side of my chest

wanted something bigger than myself

and if I could take care of you, taking care of me

we could be so happy

promise me that you're

promise me that you're

promise me that you're happy

(Perfectly ivory, play me something happy)



the hardest part of this is

the hardest part of this is

the hardest part of this is

letting go
