Prelude
Oliver and Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Peace out on the lake
Peace out on the fields
Where the wind blows and the trees shake
A world full of all colors
Better than any movie scene
And inside the city there is only gray
There is life outside the city
Too small for the eye to see
The bugs have their roads
And the birds are flying free from tree to tree
There's life outside the city

Line by Line Meaning
If you hear
If you listen carefully
A song in blue
A sad song
Like a flower crying
Expressing deep sorrow
For the dew
For something that it can't have
That was my heart serenading you
I was singing a love song to you
My prelude to a kiss
My way of showing my love before a kiss
If you hear a song that grows
If you hear a song that becomes louder
From my tender sentimental woes
From my deep and emotional troubles
That was my heart trying to compose
My heart was trying to create a love song
A prelude to a kiss
A way of showing my love before a kiss
Though it's just a simple melody
Even though it's a basic tune
With nothing fancy
With no extra decoration
Nothing much
Not something spectacular
You could turn it to a symphony
You could make it something great
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch
A basic tune turned into something magnificent
Oh how my love song gently cries
My love song expresses my emotions softly
For the tenderness within your eyes
Because of the kindness and affection I see in your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
My love will always be there
A prelude to a kiss
A way of showing my love before a kiss

@tlabonte1 , I had a feeling kids meant young adult fans, not actual children. That must have been an awesome experience getting such an upgrade from average tickets to front row.
@christine8092
And that was me!!!! They came to us. We had the worst seats in the house. They brought us down to the first row. We were in shock. It was awesome! Best night of my life!! Billy Joel is incredible ♥️🇺🇲💯
