Shad ows fill an emp ty heart
as love is fad ing from all the things that we are
and are not say ing.
Can we see be yond the scars
and make it to the dawn?
The Change the col ors of the sky
and o pen up to the ways you made me feel a live,
the ways I loved you.
For all the things that nev er died
to make it through the night, where love will find you.
What a bout now,
what a bout to day?
What if you’re mak ing me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love
nev er went a way,
what if it’s lost be hind words we could nev er find?
Ba by, be fore
it’s too late,
what a bout now?
The sun is break ing in your eyes
to start a new day.
This bro ken heart can still sur vive
the touch of your grace.
As shad ows fade in to the light,
to I am by your side where love will find you.
What a bout now,
what a bout to day?
What if you’re mak ing me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love
nev er went a way,
what if it’s lost be hind words we could nev er find?
Ba by, be fore
it’s too late,
what a bout now?
What a bout now,
now that we’re here,
now that we’ve come this far?
Just hold
on.
There is noth ing to fear
for I am right
be
side
you, for all
my
life
I am yours.
What a bout now,
what a bout to day?
What if you’re mak ing me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love

About “What About Now”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "What About Now"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

- What About Now is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "What About Now" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature A, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 82 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
