The Music Played On

Lyrics —The Music Played On …

Verse
Before I got love-struck
I wandered about —
Just a young buck
Sowing my oats
Spending my nights playing around —
Chasing hot things downtown.

Verse
Had a cool swagger —
A nighttime attractor, and
When the hotties came around
I’d make them a promise or two,
Then we’d dance
Till the morning light.

Verse
Baby, it’s true,
You set off a spark,
Started a flame, its fire blazed higher,
Soon the music we made
Turned the devil’s own face
Forty more shades of red.

Chorus
Our music played on,
Knowing then you were the one …
Oh yeah -
How our music kept playing on and on.

Verse
Today, I’m sipping Cabernets, and
My hair’s turning silver —
But it’s no disgrace
Not knowing one’s face, and
The games are different now,
Yet the flame burns on.

Verse
Baby, there’s no guarantee, but
Who could foresee
You’d be the best thing
That happened to me, and
When it’s all said and done,
It’s true, you’ve never let me down.

Chorus (repeat)

Outro
Oh, how our music still plays on and on!
