All my life and it's been a short one;
|
I've met the happy and the sad together.
|
I chased the soft warm air that flew before me,
|
And through the storm on wings of love,
|
the song of life bore me.
|
|
And when the music starts to play let e be around, (I said)
|
When the music starts to play let me be around.
|
Oh, can't you see how my heart soars high,
|
When I hear that music.
|
When the music starts to play let me be around.
|
|
When sadness lays his cold fist on my shoulder,
|
And pushes me in icy waters drowning,
|
The gentle hand of music lifts me smiling,
|
And through these sounds my heart takes bounds,
|
I happy am.
