Long, long ago
Feels like yesterday
A little child watched
As dad sat down to play
They pulled the old piano
To the middle of the room
Friends and neighbours calling
For their favourite tune
So long ago

Stretching out our bedtime
Being good as we could be
With my sister and my brother
I’d try to sing the harmony
Cross-legged on the carpet
Where the old piano boomed
I watched him flex his fingers
Lift his head and fill the room

With a voice so clear
A voice so strong
O how we’d sing
Those old salvation songs
It was the old, old story of Calvary
And we’re still singing, singing
The harmony

Then he was a young man
Now I, his child, am grey
The old piano’s long been silent
But I hear his song today
A sure and certain hope
The cleansing blood, the empty grave
When he wakes to flex new fingers
Lift his head and start to play

With a voice so clear
A voice so strong
With heaven and earth
In one salvation song
Of the old, old story of Calvary
And we’re still singing, singing
The harmony

With a voice so clear
A voice so strong
O how we’d sing
Those old salvation songs
It was the old, old story of Calvary
And we’re still singing, singing
It was long ago
But not so far away
And we’re still singing, singing
We’re still singing
The harmony
