Lady Louise
There is a lady of distinction
She is well worth our mention.
I often heard her play piano
It's like listening to a trio.
No one can hit the keys like her
She is the musician I prefer.
Her fingers run across the keys
Like a group of busy bees.
The sound is so delightful to the ear
It is a treat for anyone to hear.
She may never know of this tribute,
But this lady deserves a big salute.
Many years have passed her by,
But you will never see her cry.
She always tries to look her best,
And sometimes wears a little vest.
I can't help but think of her voice,
And she made others her choice.
She says, "God gave the talent to me,"
And with it she has been so free.
I can hear that music ringing in my ear
As the piano keys sound I hear.
She never refused to play for me
She will always be in my memory!
Can't you hear her now?
