While the Music Plays On

Each night in some café

I’m on display until the dark turns into dawn

Up upon the stand, singing with the band

While the music plays on

Each night is just a long and endless song

Until the last couple has gone

Vainly I must start singing out my heart

While the music plays on

Oh, what madness to discover

Music still possesses all its charms

As I serenade my lover

Dancing by in someone else’s arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd

What happens when romance has gone

I must hide my fears singing through the tears

While the music plays on
