THE MUSIC PLAYED
Matt Monro


An angry silence stayed 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 suddenly watched you walk forward the door
I heard a friend of yours suggest you have to stay
And as you took his hand the music played

Across the darknessed room the fatal signs I saw
We'd been something more than friends before
Well, I was hurting you by clinging to my pride
He had been waiting and as I drove him to your 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 pride I paid
and as he held you close
The music played
And as I lost your love
the music played
