Jeremy (Live)

Jeremy came to a group home one day. The boy's autistic, that's all they'd say. They were gonna teach him how to be just Right. But when he went to bed at night, He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music. When music played, his face came alive. His spirit danced and his eyes opened wide. Down to the basement where that old piano stayed. He'd rock and clap until I played. He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music All night long. There's music in the air and I am a Child. Listening late at night to the radio dial. The midnight DJ somehow always knows just what to Play. I'll slowly drift away with Dobie Gray. I made it there less and less each week. Life kept on coming and I had promises to Keep. But when we played the music never died. The magic made his eyes open wide. He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music. One day they called to say that Jeremy had Left. They moved him closer to his family in the West. There was no long goodbye, no one last chance To play. Sometimes things just end that way. He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music All night long. There's music in the night and jazz is on The street. A saxophone is wailing in that summer's bullet heat. The people start to move and I am swept Right off my feet. In that moment, my whole life is complete. Sometimes I lie awake, wonder where he's gone. Open the window, play piano all night long. Let the music ride upon the night breeze, Cool and strong. Jeremy, can you hear this song? He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music. He liked to hear music All night long. Thank you so much. And thanks so much to Allie for joining
