Description

You might see him cutting a lonely figure
Around Melbourne
Standing In a subway , outside a supermarket or perhaps on a street corner
Violin under his chin
He may be wearing
A hot pink suit , a funny hat on
In his right hand a bow
Like a magic wand
Striking the strings
His music rings
He’s a one man show
He’s a man with a violin

Since the age of ten
His violin has always been
his best and most loyal Friend
In his 8 decades of life
It has seen him through thick and thin
When he lost his second wife ,
He got right up on his feet
Said “Im not going to be a couch potato”
He took to the streets
To play his melodies
The rest is history
He’ s a one man show
He’s a man with a violin

Chorus
If Shakespeare is right and
Music is the food of love,
Then play on ,play on , play on , play on
If music soothes and heals a broken heart , then play on
If music bridges Heaven and Earth
Lifts the spirits high
To the stars in the sky
If music brings tears of joy to the eyes
If music gives reason to dance and jive
Then play on ,play on ,play on
It is wise

You might see him cutting a not so lonely figure
Around Melbourne
Standing In a subway , outside a supermarket or perhaps on a street corner
A small crowd gathered around now
Some new friends he has found now
He loves to
Play on the streets
All kinds of people to meet
In the fresh air
Under the sky
Not in the orchestra pit
He’s a man who prefers to stand, not to sit

Interlude

Chorus
If Shakespeare is right and
Music is the food of love,
Then play on , play on, play on,
If Music soothes and heals a broken heart
then play on
If Music bridges Heaven and Earth
Brings the stars crashing down all around town
Then play on
If music brings tears of joy to the eyes
Then play on
Play on
Play on
It is wise

You might be lucky enough to spot him In Melbourne ,on a street corner
His silhouette dancing as he plays against the falling night sky
Sweet melodies wafting up to heaven
flying to the moon
As he plays a lullaby
As you pass on by..
