Music opened a whole new world to me.
:11:04
No matter how bad I feel,
no matter how sad or sick I am,
:11:08
I just touch these keys and "Poof!"
:11:10
Like magic, I always seem to feel better.
:11:14
I've always known you had talent, Bobby.
:11:16
This piano is for you. Charlie worked hard for it.
:11:19
See, God wouldn't have made you
suffer so much
:11:22
if he weren't gonna make up for it later.
:11:25
# I'm happy you can be
:11:29
# Up a lazy river with me
:11:48
Mama was right about music.
:11:50
It opened a whole new world to me,
outside of time and illness.
:11:54
A world I could live in.
:11:57
# Throw away your troubles,
baby, dream a dream with me
:12:15
# Up a lazy river with me
:12:19
I knew then if I could live to 10,
:12:21
maybe I'd make it to 15, and then maybe 20.
:12:23
From then on, music was the most
important thing in my life.
:12:29
Mama taught me all the moves
and dances from vaudeville
:12:31
that made the greats stand out.
:12:33
I would spend most days in bed with fever
:12:36
but when I had the strength,
Mama and I would practise,
:12:39
and practise, and practise,
:12:42
until we created what she called "The Plan".
