00:10Piano music
00:30You will not be able to see you
00:39I will not be able to see you
00:41It's my dear love and to your home
00:49You will not be able to see you
01:18It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
01:21The regular crowd shuffles in
01:26There's an old man sitting next to me
01:30Begging love to his son, A, Gange
01:44He said, son, can you play me a memory?
01:49I'm not really sure how it goes
01:53But his hand is sweet and I knew it completes
01:57When I wore a younger man's clothes
02:13Sing us the song of the piano
02:43Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
02:48Gets me my drinks for free
02:51And it's quick with a joke
02:53Hard to light up your smoke
02:55But there's some place that he'd rather be
03:01He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me
03:05I smile right away from his face
03:09For I'm sure that I could be a movie star
03:13If I could get out of this place
03:29Now Paul is a real estate novelist
03:33Who never had time for a wife
03:37He's talking with Davey
03:40Who's still in the Navy
03:42And probably will be polite
03:55And the waitresses practicing politics
03:59As the businessmen slowly get stoned
04:03Yes, they're sharing a drink
04:06They call loneliness
04:07And it's better than drinking alone
04:11And I just say
04:27Sing us a song, you're the piano man
04:31Sing us a song tonight
04:35Oh, we're all in the mood
04:37For a melody
04:39And you've got us feeling all right
04:57It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
05:00And the manager gives me a smile
05:05Cause he knows that it's me
05:07They've been coming to see
05:09To forget about life for a while
05:15And the piano sounds like a carnival
05:18And the microphone smells like a beer
05:22And they sit at the bar
05:25And I put bread in my shop
05:27Say man, will you go do what you do
05:31And I get where I do
05:35And I do
05:37And I put others in my shop
05:47And I do
05:50And I put other birds on my life
05:51And I do
05:52And I do
05:54And I do
05:57So I can't do
06:24Thank you, New York!
06:27Thank you, New York!
