There is a lovely music box that sits nearby my bed
\nEach lonely night it brings me joy, sweet music in my head
\nIt’s made of gold and ivory and lined with scarlet red
\nThere is no greater gift or\u00a0 treasure I would want instead
\nThe tiny ballerina turns with elegance and grace
\nI know she\u00a0 must be beautiful, though I can’t see her face
\nHands above her lovely head, and poised up on her toes
\nNight after night she makes me smile as round and round she goes
\nIt once belonged to someone dear..my lover and my friend
\nAs long as it is here with me, the music will not end
\nSome\u00a0 say that is is gone from me, no longer my possession
\nA\u00a0 memory I will not lose, an old man’s sad obsession
\nBut just because my body’s frail, my eyes gone dark and blind
\nThat does not mean I still can’t hear sweet music in my mind<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
