lyrics

I sing for Clara
The finest mind of her era
And the melodies she harbored
As she sat in the shadow of Robert

Robert the genius
The composer, and Clara the pianist
He the tortured brooding artist
She the wife, and guess whose job was hardest

Oh how she loved him
Asked nothing of him
Kept his house
While she played his tunes
With no time for her own

Think of what we lost
The melodies forgotten, tossed
The music we will never hear,
The songs unsung
For there was women’s work to be done

I sing for Clara
And her sisters through every era
In the shadows, incidental
To the man monumental

I sing for the millions
Possessing that uncommon brilliance
Never polished to the finest
By a world that would rather think them mindless

I sing for Clara
This tune she taught to me
