Return to the Classics
Sebastien Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to return to the classics
Perhaps the most famous classic
In all the world of music
 
And yet for some strange reason I've been told
That I'm the only pianist
To ever play this number
In Carnegie Hall
 
I'd like to return to the classics
Perhaps the most famous classic
In all the world of music
 
And yet for some strange reason I've been told
That I'm the only pianist
To ever play this number
In Carnegie Hall




 
I'd like to return to the classics
