In the corner of my memory
A brown piano settled in the corner
In the corner of my childhood home
A brown piano settled in the corner
I remember it was much taller than me
When that brown piano led me
I looked up to you with admiration
A brown piano settled in the corner
In the corner of my childhood home
A brown piano settled in the corner
I remember it was much taller than me
When that brown piano led me
I looked up to you with admiration

When I touched you with my small fingers
“I feel so nice, mom I feel so nice”
The keys I wandered over with my hands
Back then I didn’t know your meaning
Just looking at you was enough back then
I remember when I was in elementary school
When I grew taller than you
“I feel so nice, mom I feel so nice”
The keys I wandered over with my hands
Back then I didn’t know your meaning
Just looking at you was enough back then
I remember when I was in elementary school
When I grew taller than you

The ivory keys gathering dust
Your neglected appearance, I didn’t know then
Your meaning, you always stayed in your place
But I didn’t know that would be the last
Don’t go like this, you say..

After dawn, we greet the morning together
Never let go of my hand
I won’t let go of you again
I remember the end of my teenage years
Burning with you, even when I couldn’t see ahead
Crying, laughing
Even those moments with you
Are now memories
Holding my shattered shoulders, I said
I really can’t do this anymore
Never let go of my hand
I won’t let go of you again
I remember the end of my teenage years
Burning with you, even when I couldn’t see ahead
Crying, laughing
Even those moments with you
Are now memories
Holding my shattered shoulders, I said
I really can’t do this anymore
