Verse:

Let the band play on,
Play until the dawn,
Music is the language of romance.
Look behind the scenes,
Think what music means,
No one is unhappy while he's dancing;

Chorus:

Sweet music makes a rainy day seem clear again,
It brings you near again,
To me.
Sweet music makes a bitter word grow sweet again,
Two hearts can beat again
In harmony.
We've learned to sing
A song in spring,
And yet, if I forget it by December,
Will you remember?
Sweet music makes the same old story new again,
I bring to you again,
My song.
