The music played lyrics

An angry silence lay

Where love had been

And in your eyes a look

I've never seen

If I had found the words

You might have stayed,

But as I turned to speak

The music played.

As lovers danced their way

Around the floor

I sat and watched you walk

Towards the door

I heard a friend of yours

Suggest you stayed

And as you took his hand

The music played.

Across the darkened room

The fatal signs I saw

You've been something more

Than friends before

While I was hurting you

By clinging to my pride,

He had been waiting

And I drove you to his side

I couldn't say the things

I should have said,

Refused to let my heart

Control my head.

But I was made to see

The price I paid

And as he held you close

The music played.

And as I lost your love

The music played.
