lyrics

ONLY THE MUSIC
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

The swirling of dresses,
The scuffing of shoes-
“Should my hair be in tresses?”
“What tie do I choose?”-
As the hall fills with dancers,
And the strings start to sound-
We will take that first step,
And we won’t touch the ground

FOR THERE'S ONLY THE MUSIC
THAT PLAYS ON AND ON
YES, THERE'S ONLY THE MUSIC
THE HEARTACHES ARE GONE
WE CAN STAND CLOSE TOGETHER
WHILE THE WORLD DANCES BY
'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY THE MUSIC
BETWEEN YOU AND I
YES, THERE'S ONLY THE MUSIC
BETWEEN YOU AND I

A head on a shoulder,
An arm ‘round a waist,
If the weather gets colder,
We both will be braced-
For whatever the trouble,
We still have a chance-
If we hold hands together,
And take time to dance-


The clock hours bending,
The hands spinning ‘round-
From beginning to ending,
As dancers we’re bound-
With the memories like treasures,
All safe in their vaults-
When we hear the last measures,
We’ll dance the grand waltz-

Sea Fire Productions Inc c&p 1997
