I CAN'T RECALL
ONE TIME IN MY LIFE
I FELT AS LONELY
AS I DO TONIGHT
I FEEL LIKE I COULD
LAY DOWN
AND GET UP NO MORE
IT'S THE DAMNDEST
FEELIN'
I NEVER FELT IT BEFORE
4 BAR
BREAK
TONIGHT I FEEL
LIKE AN OLD VIOLIN
SOON TO BE PUT AWAY
AND NEVER PLAYED
AGAIN
DON'T ASK ME
WHY I FEEL LIKE THIS
HELL I CAN'T SAY
I ONLY WISH THIS FEELIN'
WOULD JUST GO AWAY
I GUESS IT'S 'CAUSE
THE TRUTH
IS THE HARDEST THING
I EVER FACED
'CAUSE YOU CAN'T
CHANGE THE TRUTH
IN THE SLIGHTEST WAY
I TRIED
SO I ASKED MYSELF
I SAID JOHNNY
WHERE DO YOU GO
FROM HERE
THEN LIKE A FOOL
I TURNED AROUND AND
I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR
AND THERE I WAS SEEIN'
AN OLD VIOLIN
SOON TO BE PUT AWAY
AND NEVER PLAYED
AGAIN
SO ONE MORE TIME
JUST TO BE SURE
I SAID JOHN
WHERE IN THE HELL
DO YOU GO FROM HERE
AND YOU KNOW
THERE WASN'T
A NICKEL'S WORTH
OF DIFFERENCE
WHEN I LOOKED
IN THE MIRROR
'CAUSE THERE
I WAS SEEIN'
AN OLD VIOLIN
SOON TO BE PUT AWAY
AND NEVER PLAYED
AGAIN
AND JUST LIKE THAT
IT HIT ME
WHY THAT OLD VIOLIN
AND I
WERE JUST ALIKE
WE'VE GIVE OUR ALL
TO MUSIC
AND SOON
WE'LL GIVE OUR LIFE
