The Bells of St. Stephen's
Birds flew from the belfry
Leaves rustled the air
But all was quiet
To Ludwig's ear
The tower was tolling
Vienna stirred
Beethoven among them
Though he hadn't heard
Looked up and saw
The bells in sway
Waited for echoes
No sound today
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Can you imagine
Can you feel
The music move you
When the bells don't peal
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Succeeding Mozart
Known yet impaired
Scores kept coming
So Beethoven dared
Composed sonatas
While all was still
A master symphony
Soared from his quill
Thus his loss
Burnished his legend
Ere his silence waned in
Eighteen twenty seven
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Can you imagine
Can you feel
The music move you
When the bells don't peal
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Leaves rustled the air
But all was quiet
To Ludwig's ear
The tower was tolling
Vienna stirred
Beethoven among them
Though he hadn't heard
Looked up and saw
The bells in sway
Waited for echoes
No sound today
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Can you imagine
Can you feel
The music move you
When the bells don't peal
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Succeeding Mozart
Known yet impaired
Scores kept coming
So Beethoven dared
Composed sonatas
While all was still
A master symphony
Soared from his quill
Thus his loss
Burnished his legend
Ere his silence waned in
Eighteen twenty seven
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
Can you imagine
Can you feel
The music move you
When the bells don't peal
Can you imagine
Can you hear
The bells of St Stephen's
Ringing in your ear
