lirik lagu karen akers - if i sing
[verse 1]
my mother’s pride
was in her hands
the piano was her soul
i watched in wonder
as she played show tunes
miles off from rock and roll
what she loved, she taught me
now music’s what i do
and often when i’m writing
in my hands
she’s there too
[chorus]
if i sing, you are the music
if i fly, you’re why i’m good
if my hands can find some magic
you’re the one who said they could
when the child who’s still inside me
finds a song in empty air
when there is joy in making music
it is you who put it there
[verse 2]
my mom grew old
her hands grew numb
and now she cannot play
i camе to visit
she sat and asked me
how it could bе this way
i couldn’t find an answer
i played this tune for her instead
my mother sat there smiling
for she knew
what it said
[chorus]
if i sing, you are the music
if i love, you taught me how
every day your heart is beating
in the woman i am now
if my ears are tuned to wonder
if when i reach, the chords are there
if there is joy in making music
it’s a joy that we both share
[outro]
i never told you
it took time ’til i could see
that if i sing, you are the music
and you’ll always sing in me
yes, you’ll always live in me
