The Music Played

An angry silence lay where love had beenAnd in your eyes a look I’d never seenIf I had found the words you might have stayedBut as I turned to speak, the music played

As lovers danced their way around the floorI sat and watched you walk towards the doorI heard a friend of yours suggest you stayedAnd as you took his hand, the music played
Across the darkened room the fatal signs I sawYou’d been something more than friends beforeWhile I was hurting you by clinging to my prideHe had been waiting, and I drove him to your side
I couldn’t say the things I should have saidRefused to let my heart control my headBut I was made to see the price I paidAnd as he held you close, the music played
And as I lost your love, the music played

 

And You My Love – Chris Rea

And You My Love”

 

I do not sleep tonight
I might not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together

Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason
What they’ve all come here for

You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of

Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms

Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay

And you my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all because of
