Lyrics
I have just finished tuning my violin.
My school recital is ready to begin.
My palms are sweaty.
My heart is pounding.
My mouth is very dry.
I take a deep breath,
I know I can do this.
My violin and I.
I receive a standing ovation.
I feel such great elation!
We both take a bow, my violin and I.
