Nostalgia Recital
When my fingers hit the keys
My soul escapes through melody
The Midnight Sonata fills the air
Im finished now, I leave my chair
The crowd stands up and applauds.
I bow in return, my expression awed.
The lights dim now, the room fills black.
I close my eyes, then starts the flash back.
My fingers touched the black and white keys.
My soul escaped with the fragile melody.
The Midnight Sonata fills the chilly air.
I finished then and left my chair.
The crowd stands up, I am awed.
All of the people start to applaud.
The headlights fade, the room fills black.
I open my eyes and end the flash back.
