Story Behind The Song
There was nothing more we could do for you, so the man you had married said I should play the piano because you could hear it through the wall to your bedroom.
The opening motif is from Maurice Ravel's Miroirs No. 2: "Oiseaux Tristes" (sad birds)

Lyrics
If all I could give you
Was one last song
With words only you
Could understand, even though you're gone
Could you hear it?
Could you hear it?
Could you hear it?
Through the wall?
Just keep playing, playing, dreaming
Tell me it will be alright
You laid down everything for me
Why couldn't I give you
One last song?
If all I could give you was one last song
These words I would tell you, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Could you hear it?
Could you hear it?
Could you hear it?
Through the wall?
