Playing by Ear - Wooden Heart

Can't you see
I love you
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
'Cause I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart

Muss i denn, muss i denn
Zum Stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

I am gradually learning more about the computer. How wonderful that we can hear songs and even have the lyrics on the computer. One of my favourite songs by the late Elvis Presley is Wooden Heart.

Hence, I decided to see whether I could play it on the violin. After a few practices I am glad I am able to play it quite nicely.

I hope my younger readers will also find the tune pleasing and soothing. The wordings of the song are quite meaningful too.

I hope I will gradually be able to play more pop songs by ear on the violin.
