lyrics
[Verse]
In the corner sat his wooden throne
The seat of stories carved in stone
His pipe would smoke like a chimney's sigh
[Chorus]
Mio nonno
Oh mio nonno
Keeper of the old piano
Played the notes
The world would follow
[Verse 2]
Wrinkled hands held a life untold
Silver threads weaved through his soul
Eyes like embers
Still burning slow
[Bridge]
He spoke of love
He spoke of war
Of dancing shadows on the floor
His laugh a song I can’t ignore
[Chorus]
Mio nonno
Oh mio nonno
Keeper of the old piano
Played the notes
The world would follow
[Outro]
Now his chair is empty
Still
Yet the echoes of his will
Play on and on
Mio nonno
Still
