Yesterday when I was young I played the game and never won Thought rock and roll would bless my soul forever. Songs of love and ecstasy Remind me how it used to be I thought those days would never end But now it seems I need a friend I remember all those days gone by I remember all their faces The old familiar places CHORUS Don't let the music die, No our song could last forever Don't let the music die, Don't let the music die And though we've said goodbye, We could spend our lives together, So as time goes by Don't let the music die Yesterday, the world was mine I played the clown and Pantomime Or was it just a dream that's gone forever Echoed voices from the past Recall the songs I thought would last And say "Those times will never die" And the love we share's the reason why I remember all those days gone by I remember all their faces, The old familiar places CHORUS Don't let the music die, No our song could last forever Don't let the music die, Don't let the music die And though we've said goodbye, We could spend our lives together, So as time goes by Don't let the music die When we were young we had our time And we would drink sweet talking wine but now that it's over All the songs sound out of rhyme CHORUS Don't let the music die, No our song could last forever Don't let the music die, Don't let the music die And though we've said goodbye, We could spend our lives together, So as time goes by Don't let the music die
