Practice, man, practice
Technical facility
Old-word sensibility
All of this I did for you
Still there is no sign of you
I practiced, I practiced
Carnegie Hall was beckoning
I was ready, I was ready
Carnegie Hall was beckoning
Still there is no sign of you
They loved it, they showed it
The audience was deafening
I was ready, I was ready
The critics all said "Riveting"
On the Steinway, on the Steinway
I guess it doesn't mean a thing
Still there is no sign of you
