"How Do You Keep The Music Playing?" lyrics
(originally by James Ingram)
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep a song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your way
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And if we know we're always changing
Why should it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear her name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever...
Forever...
If... If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music...
The music...
The music never never never ends
How do you make it last?
How do you keep a song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your way
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And if we know we're always changing
Why should it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear her name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever...
Forever...
If... If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music...
The music...
The music never never never ends
