I’m an Accompanist Songtext
von Simon Helberg

I′m an accompanist
I'm an accompanist
I′m an accompanist for Anne, for Anne
Anne's the one with the genius, the grace
I'm the one with the technical expertise

Ah the tease
Ah the tease
Of being so near, so far
From the star
From the stars
But someday I′ll join them, ′cause


I'm a conductor
I′m a conductor
I'm a conductor, conductor at heart
It′s a temp job I'm doing
This should only be seen as a means to an end

In the end
In the end
I′ll lead orchestras near and far
Every bar
Every bar
Will bear my own signature

But I'm an accompanist, for the present
For Anne, that's what I do
I′m an accompanist, for the present
For Anne
But now let′s listen to her sing
