With silken sway
Life passes us by
like bow met by string
and vibrato's slow decay
With the pedal's release
and the damper set in play
the hammer's dulcet tones
grow weaker through the piece
The act reaches end
and another soon begins
whether in this life or the next
music is what makes the spirit mend
Always hold it dear
the music that follows suit
let melody encompass you
and live life without fear.

With silken sway
Life passes us by
like bow met by string
and vibrato's slow decay
With the pedal's release
and the damper set in play
the hammer's dulcet tones
grow weaker through the piece
The act reaches end
and another soon begins
whether in this life or the next
music is what makes the spirit mend
Always hold it dear
the music that follows suit
let melody encompass you
and live life without fear.
Chopin's nocturnes always invoke feelings.
