Maestro's Rocketship

Speechwriters LLC


And have you ever seen a maestro furiously plucking at his strings 
As to the woman of his dreams, he sings 
Or have you rather seen the lights aglow with his head bent low and his song real slow 
As he sings of his affliction from Cupid's bow 

And so you ask why I play my love song so fast 
Is it because I think my love's not fit to last 
And why do I strum these chords with unduly haste 
Because in this life we don't have no time to waste 

And have you ever read Petrarch's eternal words indelibly on the page 
He immortalized his love in a cage 
Or have you ever seen the Mona Lisa sitting in the Louvre 
Oh she's beautiful alright yeah but can she groove 

And so you ask why I play my love song so fast 
Is it because I think my love's not fit to last 
And why do I strum these chords with unduly haste 
Because in this life we don't have no time to waste 

And so often I've seen a man thinking he's sacrificing for his wife 
Working hard working so long for the promise of a better life 
And for happiness now seems like people are looking around thinking 
that it can be found if their salaries will allow just one more item 
but what about happiness now 

And now you know why I play my love song so fast 
Cause I don't give a damn if my love's not fit to last 
And I will play my chords with unduly haste 
So my love can't be traced and of life I'll get a taste 
So I'll put down my guitar now let's not let this night go to waste
