Interrupted Melody

The lights come up, the show is over

The theater empties as the credits roll by

This house is cold, the song is fading

I sit alone as curtains close on this heart of mine

And I wonder how it all came down

To the famous final scene

How we lost the thread that held us

Spellbound in a dream

Now the stage is dark

And the theaters cold and lonely

The music fades

Like an interrupted melody

We wrote the score

Now I hear the words "if only"

Hangin' in the air

Like an interrupted melody

The world began, my life found meaning

The very moment when I saw your face

All traffic stopped, I held you breathless

I melted into you and lost all sense of time and space

Now I could've sworn forever's touch

Had surely lent a glove

In conducting our life's symphony

The melody of love

Now the stage is dark

And the theaters cold and lonely

The music fades

Like an interrupted melody

We wrote the score

Now I hear the words "if only"

Hangin' in the air

Like an interrupted melody

I - I've been searching for the reason

Tell me - why - are we strangers to the song

Oh - could we go back to the season

When we walked this earth together

Two against the storm

Now the stage is dark

And the theaters cold and lonely

The music fades

Like an interrupted melody

We wrote the score

Now I hear the words "if only"

Hangin' in the air

Like an interrupted melody
