Our World of Music

 (Brief instrumental intro)

With music ever playing
Through our time upon this Earth
No doubt we would have listened 
Most probably since birth
As Mothers they employ it
While still within their keep
To sooth us in the cradle
With a lullaby to sleep.

 (Brief instrumental interlude)

Background music playing
As we employ the time of day
Helping to relax us
At work or when at play
And in a time of sorrow
It can fill that empty hole
To ease away the heartache
And sooth a troubled soul.

 (Brief instrumental interlude)

Within our world of music
There lies a massive store
While all the while creating
Yet one more music score
So very many genres
That comprise pop music themes
And some are so familiar
We can sing them in our dreams.

 (Brief instrumental interlude)

As the years slip by us
We are gradually more inclined
To seek the great composers
And music more refined
To listen to a symphony
In some historic music hall
Undoubtedly for some folk
The most memorable of all.

To listen to the old songs
That recount nostalgic times
Regaling all the grandkids
With much nursery rhymes
Then in life’s final sunset
Saint Peter knocking at our door
There will always be just time for
One final grand encore.
