The Music Played Songtext
von Udo Jürgens

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.
