A SONG WITHOUT THE MUSIC

 

(Instrumental intro)

 

 A song without the music

Are just words without a home

They may convey a message

Of little use when they’re alone

Add a gentle melody

And from the very start

Those simple words will reach

All the way into your heart

 

Words without the music

Are used as we converse

They are written in a novel

Or arrayed in books of verse

They are used to tell a story

Or depict a player’s role

But it takes the music’s magic

To touch the inner soul

 

A song without the music

Will never dominate the charts

You will see no one dancing

Not until the music starts

For it takes that special rhythm

And the music’s easy beat

That once there inside you

Control the dancing feet

 

(Instrumental interlude)

Words without the music

Reflect the sorrow at life’s end

But in them little comfort

For the loss of an old friend

 

(Instrumental interlude)

 

Play instead the old songs

That recount those happy times

And remember all the good things

That made fulfilling lives

 

(Instrumental interlude)

 

A song without the music

Are just words without a home

No one will remember them

Not when the music’s gone.

 

(Instrumental outro)
