Song Back-story:

In 2016, I purchased a new NORD Stage Piano. What an amazing keyboard. The piano and other sounds are high-resolution samples of each note. The weighted keys are unsurpassed.

There was one sound patch in particular, Nord Bösendorfer (often referred to as Imperial Grand), that sent tingles up my spine. 

After a couple of days in awe, this song bubbled its way to the surface.
Sometimes the sound drives the song...

Genre:

Gospel Rock

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Hey! Yeah!
Oh yeah!

[Verse 1]
What a life, what a life it’s been
Every note I played, every soul that stood by me
All those years, all those years gone by
All those people I got to share it with

[Chorus]
Oh what a life it’s been, the dreams we had
As I’m walking out, towards the sun
All the tales that made me glad
What a wonderful life it’s been

[Verse 2]
Faces in the crowd, strangers turned to kin
Songs we sang together still dancing in the wind
Every heart I touched, every heart that molded me
The light we passed along still shining deep within

[Chorus]
Oh what a life it’s been, the dreams we had
As I’m walking out, towards the sun
All the memories that made me glad
What a wonderful life it’s been

[Bridge]
Let it all come down… oh yeah… oh yeah…
Voices rising higher, hands lifted to the sky
The music keeps on rolling long after I die
The love keeps on singing… forevermore
Love, love, love

[Final Chorus / Outro]
What a wonderful life it’s been
What a wonderful life it’s been
Yeah!
