My favorite instrument of all
It seems hard to believe
That I never ever played one
The more I listen to such beauty
The more I long for one of my own
The tender strings being plucked gently
Give me such a thrill when I listen to them
But how I long to play one myself
Instead of listening helplessly
I long to play the Pedal Harp
But have high doubts that I ever will
For they cost too much money
And I doubt I'll ever be
Rich enough to afford one
But I keep on wishing and praying for one
Because I just cannot help
But admire their beauty
Those strings produce
When playing a solo
Or playing a part in an orchestra
I always try to imagine
What it would be like if I could but play one
But I always end up
With a picture as blank as a sheet of paper
When it comes to imagining me
Playing a Pedal Harp
