Piano Performer Magazine

Heaven - that it is,
I am quite, quite sure,
But of all its varied qualities,
Its many marking characteristics,

Well, that’s so far above, beyond
The tiny mind that I was issued
Heaven? I don’t claim to know exactly where
It is, or what its population is
But of this, there’s nothing about, which
I am or ever, ever will be more sure

Bill Evans is reliably, quite undeniably
There, wherever where is, there is heaven.
And if Bill Evans is not there,
It can’t be heaven, and I ain’t goin’ there,
Ain’t no way in hell I’m goin’ there.
