We Fell In Love In The Key of E Flat

Eighty Eight keys

Ebony on ivory

Just me, you

And a Steinway Grand

It was only the three of us in that room

You tried to play a song for me

We all knew you were no pianist

But me and the twisted melody laughed together, out of tune

We sat so close, noses touching

Stolen kisses & elbows brushing

That piano holds our secrets

Our whispered words and promises

But even the sustain pedal

Can only hold a note for so long

And like your broken sonatas

We had an expiration date

I see you now and want to ask

Do you remember us?  Do you remember that night?

When you held my hand

And it made me realize

It didn’t matter that we weren’t a perfect chord

You were mine and I was yours

But it was too late-

Our song had already faded fest.
