"The Music Played" lyrics - UDO JURGENS

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 serving you
By clinging to my pride,
He had been waiting
And I drove you to 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.
